For me the last part of my journey was Costa Rica, to visit and relax with my friends there. They live in the countryside so when I go to visit it is generally a very different Costa Rican experience then what most tourists have.
The next day I left San Jeronimo early to head to Platanillo to visit Olivier and his family. I got there in the late morning and spent the next few days just hanging out. We went to the finca where he works to pick mangos. We also went to a nearby waterfall.
Mostly however we just hung out and talked. It was great. Just what I needed to relax before coming home.
I went first to San Jeronimo when my host family lives. I arrived at 7 pm and my host brother drove down to the bus stop to get me. Since it was the rainy season if I had walked tot he house it would have taken about 2 hours. That is because the bus cannot get as close tothe town in the rainy season. So that night I chatted with Ileana and then went to bed. The next 2 days I spent around the house and playing with the kids. I went over to Elizabeth's and Roy's house to visit with them as well. They had a bunch of new kittens which the kids were excited to show me. very nice and relaxing. On my final full day I went down to the old AMISCONDE office to chat with a group of volunteers who were there doing some work on building a new bathroom. They were a group of young Canadian and American girls doing soem back-breaking digging, but they were having fun and they only had to do that work for 2 weeks, then they got 2 weeks travel time. It was fun to talk to them.
