Thunder, and lightning, and rain, oh my!

Hola again all!

I am writing to you from the lovely little beach town known as Mal País. It's located on the Nicoya peninsula in the north-west region of Costa Rica. My friend Kim and I set out on our expedition here at 5:30 yesterday and made it here by around noon after taking 2 buses and a fairy. Good times! When we got here we set out to find the hostel we're staying at: The Tranquilo Backpacker's Inn. And it is "tranquilo" indeed! It's set up kind of like a motel just without vehicle access to the rooms, but there are two floors and Kim and I are sharing a room on the top level. After settling in for a moment we went to lunch (which was amazing!!) and then came back to get ready to go to the beach. That, sadly, did not happened. A huge rainstorm started up at around 16:00 and didn't stop until about 22:00. Not to mention that at aroun 8pm or so the electricity went out for about two hours! It really wasn't bad though because everyone here is relaxed, living their surfer lives in pura vida.

Around 20:00 or 20:30 Jensine came back with her hostel roommate (who I cannot recall her name right now... she's from Holland) after a wild day of ATV riding around Montezuma. It was really cool to see her! We're gonna spend the day together and she's going to come back to San José with Kim and I because she leaves on Tuesday afternoon and wanted to at least see the city. I don't know why should want two whole days at San José by herself as it's not that great of a city, it's actually a little dangerous, but she said that there are a couple of things she found that she wants to do so she'll go ahead and do them before she leaves.

Today is looking hopefull for beachness! I mean, I have to prove somehow that I was at the beach. It's a little cloudy but I'm hoping it'll clear up and be sunny like yesterday early afternoon. At least it's not raining, that's good! I think it the amount that rained last night is probably 10 times the amount of rain it rains in LA each year of not more! Crazy...

Anyways, til (prob) tomorrow or Tuesday.

Besos y amor,
