Stranger in a Strange Land

Flew in last night on a flight full of ex-convicts and budget conscious spring breakers. Spent 2-hours driving around the city looking for this hotel on roads that have no names. Got chased by a pack of ferrell dogs and got suckered into buying 4 dollar a gallon gas. It was all worth it when I woke up this morning and experienced this view from my balcony.



Things I love about Costa Rica So Far:
1. Prostitution is Legal
2. Live-In Maids are 150.00 a month
3. Potholes swallow whole cars here.
4. Gringo Rights
5. They grow every citrus fruit possible, but dont know what lemons are.

Spent most of the morning in meetings. Met with a realtor and looked at rental properties in Escazu and Santa Ana then drove to Jaco Beach and checked into this fine hotel. Had a fantastic meal, then cocktails and played a round of No-Limit Poker in the casino with my colleagues. I lost 10,000 ........ Colones ($20).

Again, what were you doing up at 3:48 am? Too excited to sleep like you were going to Disneyland or something?
