![]() So I was rejected from boarding the bus, sent back home at 11pm to the home I didnt have. Well I have the antibodies but not the essential documents. Apparently when you cross in Costa Rica, if you’ve been to South America or Africa, you need to show evidence of Yellow Fever vaccine. I had a bus ticket to Costa Rica for 11pm, about a 14 hour bus ride, was all stoked and excited to hop on a bus and not move for about an entire day, but they wouldn’t let me on because of my insufficient vaccines. Why, you ask, does the title say Yellow Fever if you didn’t get yellow fever? WELL. This is as good a time as any to point out that I haven’t been sick at all, and even with all of my drinking, long bus rides, and tipsy ships, I haven’t thrown up. Stomach of titanium (I am titaneeeeeeuuuum). I assure you they didn’t get any of mine! This is the dumpster right outside of the fish market haha, and my fish pile is ceviche, raw fish soaked in lemon and salt. Things aren’t always incredibly cheap there (besides nonstop laughs with Austin accompanied by $8 rum)…but one of my favorite plates sure is: the pile o’fish. Got to see my old friend Austin, visited the canal, and had a little time to breath before heading back to Costa Rica to visit my grandparents. Should accompany that with some antipornography and public indecency posters… Yeah there’s plenty of suckling going on around Panama. Also saw some government propaganda for breastfeeding. Got to spend a little time in Panama City, saw the unimpressive canal, which brings like half of the countries revenue in… Cool that they’re going to expand it though. Well the internet connection is just too large.įrom Ecuador I went back to Panama, so that I can continue my way up the central american chain (flight back to the US May 31 from Guatemala City). There’s also a video of all of this, feel free to email me if you want it, but its currently too big to get on my Youtube. If you float the mouse over the pictures you can read some classic captions. Without further ado, the heroes of my failure to take enough pictures… ![]() So I moved on to my last city in Ecuador, Guayaquil, which is a little bigger than the capital of Quito, probably a little less pretty…but they do have one invaluable asset. My own fault really there was no one else in this huge room and I had been told rumors previously… ![]() That was in Montañita, Ecuador…which I have heard really great things about but since I only stayed one day, looks like I will just be talking MAD SMACK. OK MOVING ON (itch itch itch itch itchhhh). I wonder how many of the molts I supplied the blood for… I didn’t sleep very long in that bed, jumped out after about 15 mins and headed to the hammock. After blogging about it and upsetting the hostel sufficiently, I returned to the hostel and wrapped myself up nice and cozy…little did I know the room itself was exacting its exquisite revenge: BED BUGS. So last week I complained (bitched) about the showerhead that electrocuted me. Not that they’re in a closet but they could probably fit. ![]() Had no idea all of this could be played on one guitar in a closet. I think that song is probably kind of overplayed in the US, but hey I’m loving it here, and this video is pretty awesome.
