Rode a bus from Mexico City to Costa Rica. It was about 50 hours in 3 days. that sucked, i tried to read and sleep most of the time, met some cool ppl on the bus, scenery was nice but riding through all the poor towns was depressing
border crossings are ridiculous. i was quite unprepared for those.
stayed in san jose for few days, exploring the city. there's not a whole lot to do there. most of the great things in costa rica are in mountains, jungles, and beaches. Someday I'll come back here and spend a ton of time whitewater rafting, mountain biking, mountain climbing, and canopy walking.
Panama City is a small city thats not bad. I was feeling kind of sick for while. Either all the bus travel caught up with me or I ate some bad chinese food. Whether its $2 or $4 you always end up regretting it. I think thats the last time I ever eat chinese
For some reason there's a lot chinese people here. More than Ive seen anywhere else in Central America. Im not sure y
Went and saw a museum about the canal, how/when it was made, and panamas relationship with the U.S. and our invasion of panama in 89; canal itself was kind of boring, there is also a train ride that would be cool to take through the length of it sometime. met some colombians that work here and ended up spending the day with them around the city. very cool ppl
