// December 18th, 2004 // Costa Rica, Puerto Viejo

so last night brendan showed up with melissa… they got a room at the same place i am staying… while waiting, we met a couple beautiful girls from switzerland… miriam and something else… i forget… we talked with them a bit then we went and got a few six packs… we drank up by brendan and melissa’s room and then headed next door for some good pizza… it was good. they couldn’t get my visa card to work though… i”m running low on cash and i dont know if my atm works … the closest machine is a town away… we’ll see! today it finally didn’t rain.. it was real nice actually… me and brendan rented bikes and biked 10 miles to manzanillo as brendan was looking for some cd’s… it wsa a nice bike ride, though i don’t really like riding bikes… just like horses… it was beutiful… through the jungle basically, we saw a bunch of the bright blue morpho butterflies… hands down the most beuatiful butterfly i have ever seen. we got there and of course the guy wasn’t there… though the bike ride was well worth it.

we drank a juice and headed back… we stopped along the way and got the best damn rice and beans i ever had… the chicken that came with it wsa a bit dry though… we ran into the two swiss girls there as well… they were heading to the beach right there… i also ran into some americans that turned out to have been looking into buying the same piece of land down here i bought… small world.

so we ate and headed to the beach… we laid around and it got cloudy…. the girls left so they could be closer to the city if it did rain… me and brendan hung out there for another hour or so then headed back … it cleared up and we ended up at the beach again… finally went swimming… it’s so nice to swim in a warm ocean…

we hung out there for a bit, and just now returned to town… dropped our bikes off and now are checking emails…. i’m getting hungry so supper is soon to follow, then a night of drinking probably… i’m not in the mood to write anymore, i’m tired and it’s hot..
