Slept 12 hours! Caught up on several short nights. CR Tour starts tonight with dinner and talk. So, I get a day of leisure. CR is on CST time so I also gained an hour.
Permit me to describe my room. This NOT roughing it right now. The room with a view has a king size bed, dark wood paneling, 3 closets, leather couch and flat screen TV both bigger than at home, table chairs, desk adn a pants presser! Hotel includes a casino, 3 restaurants, convention hall decorated tonight with glorious flowers for a Pirate Party, lots of art work, piano bar, and enclosed gardens with 30' trees and plenty of orchids.
This aft I had a golden facial using real gold. I am hoping to look 10 years younger.
Correction on the Soccer Stadium - it seats 35,000 and has parking for 500.
Last night I coldn't get money from the ATM machine here, so I called Rabobank at $1.99/minute. There is plenty money in my account as I thot and no freeze on my card. That machine just didn't like my card. Tonight I got plenty of Colones for the trip, so I don't have to worry.
To see the floating islands we saw last week from the flooding in Panama go to Youtube to Gamboa Destruction. The islands we saw floating by looked just like those except they went 2 dif ways after they went under the bridge. The bridge is an old train bridge where theu put boards over the tracks. You do have to drive carefully to stay on the boards.
In Panama we HAD to have our passports with us at all times or could be put in jail. Here, in CR we were told to leave them in our safes. If we lose them it takes 15 days of paperwork to get out of CR.
Looking forward to new adventures tomorrow. We will be visiting 6 counties here.
Night, Claudia :-)
