Que?

Morning. I had agreta idea about what I was supposed to writ today, but it slipped my mind. This trip is teaching me alot about life in general. Making me appreciate certain things in life, such as a hot shower with pressure, quiet (although I do not remember the last time I had that), my family, a vehicle (can't believe that), a working bank machine, and lots of other things. On the other hand I realise there are still lots of things that I have that I really do not need. Such as, lots of clothes, a bank card (the first bank machine I used ate it anyways), a vehicle (can't believe that), quiet, and so on and so forth. A ral eye opener. I love the jungle and the smell. I love the hills and the constant green of the country. The tico homes have a real charm to them, although I do not know if could ever live in one. But heck it's only day three, i think. Days have really lost meaning in this life. we came one day early to a hotel we reserved, and just laughed cause it was pretty ridiculous. One thing about travelling in a small hilly country is that to appreciate the landscape of cities, towns, 'country' and then more towns and villages is they do not come across like anything we are used to in a Canadian setting. I am getting better at it after two trips thru the countryside, and can tell you that everythign is closer here. Your neighbours are attached to your fence and wall. Your town is on the highway. The highway for that matter reminds me of the road that you take to Stych's house after you take that right over the train tracks, but it is narrower and has more turns. And that is a main highway! But once you get past that you realise the closeness of it all. I also see how time gets affected here with all the rain. As Tamara wrote, it can rain many times in a day. Lots of people use that to sit and wait,and that to me is fantastic. They can do it I suppose you are saying, but so can you. We were sitting at a RostiPollos and I watched the rain as I was eating. I noticed an old man that came in and just sat on a bench that was inside the door. He sat and waited for the rain to quit. I felt myself doing the same, and if I did not have to take two little guys to the bathroom three times I would have actually had a chance to unwind a bit more. Oh well, life is great out here. And although we have had a few disappointments so early, we will perservere and see wherre we can get. If the boys let us that is. By far, keeping two boys entertained while trying to plan and book things is the greatest challenge so far. We'll keep going and see what happens. So far no revelations. Heredia was nice but not so early in the trip. It was just like Edmonton. Car alarms, sirens, a rooster (... well not that part), and city noise in general. We did not want to stay in a place where you are supposed to go shopping for somethign to do, so we had tomove on. We are now in Puntarenas for a couple days, adb then off to the Nicoya Peninsula. The pool was great and it is so great to hear waves again. I'll go listen again. Unfortunately, rooms do not have internet (oh poor me and my convenience mindset yet) and so i am in the bar (oh woe is me having a free bar) typing away with minimal spelling mistakes. Talk to you soon. Rum is great. Thanks Paul. Vida.
