This weekend, Mike and I went to Jaco Beach and it was awesome. The people who live here said that the beach was dangerous and not a "typical" beach of Costa Rica. I did not find it too dangerous, and the beach, although was not pristine, was still breath-taking. It is surrounded by mountains and palm trees, and the water was luke warm.
We left Saturday morning after we had some breakfast in downtown San Jose, then headed off to the beach for the 2 and a half hour bus ride. This distance is more or less equivalent of Cleveland to Columbus; however, here in Costa Rica, the bus cost roughly 1,980 colones, or a little less than 4 dollars; pretty amazing contrast. Bus rides are about the only thing down here that are inexpensive, that and rice and beans.
It was an enjoyable weekend of good conversation and relaxation. As for now I am prepping for the long Monday which is coming soon. Hope all is well on your ends!

Hey Eddie, Kelly sent me the link to keep up with your Costa Rican adventures! All are quite fascinating and enlightening. I enjoy reading your blog. But while you were at the beach, us Clevelanders are bearing the beginnings of winter and the first few inches of snow! You lucky little duck! Adios, Eileen Kovach
