Getting ready to leave Costa Rica
Hey traveltrousers readers…you must be wondering…who is this? Well as you can see, my name is Melissa and I will be travelling with Mark. Oh yeah, I’m his girlfriend. I just gave Mark his daily dose of organic Costa Rican coffee (the best kind in el mercado central) and waiting for him to wake up. Oh! I hear a noise…he’s awake.
So we’re preparing for the road trip down to Panama, going from San Jose ->Limon-> then to Panama through Bocas del Toro. I heard it’s a beautiful place, so I can’t wait to go! We were hoping to leave this week, but now it turns out we’ll be leaving next week. No problem, it gives us time to hang out with friends before leaving 
.
Yesterday we went to Bar Acapulco in Sabanilla. If you’re in San Jose and want to go to a real Costa Rican bar or “chinchorro,” go here on a thursday night. At the Acapulco is “noche vernaculo,” where they play live music and say ver tico things to the public and people would answer back. It’s something like two rappers dissing each other, but think tico style. It’s hilarious!!! You have to know some of the words to know what they’re talking about and a direct translation, might not be that funny, but you’ll get a true taste of how ticos are…always laughing, always joking.
Back to eating choclates…we’ll keep you guys posted
