My first 60 days in Costa Rica

I put my boat and car in storage in the US and sold virtually everything else I owned 5 months ago –

For the first time in my life I have no car, no television, no radio, no microwave, no dishwasher, etc etc – I hitch-hike virtually everywhere I go – I also share my outside kitchen with a 3′ iguana

I do have a computer but the period key and question mark keys stopped working a few weeks back – I also kept my ipod (I’m not COMPLETELY crazy)

I rented a little 500 sq ft cabina near Tamarindo for 450 US dollars a month – I’m growing a garden and eating the most amazing fish and vegetables every day – Running on the beach – exploring all kinds of new and amazing beaches – Taking lots of picures

Going horseback riding and Catamaran next week – I’ve made more new friends in the last two months than I did in the last two years- A family picked me up hitch hiking the other day and took me in for breakfast and coffee for two hours – They invited me to go to a big wedding in Puntarenas but I couldn’t make it –

I really love living here

(I would NOT recommend hitch hiking to just anybody however – especially not at night – I would never do that)
