The next day we got up early and did a little shopping in town. We had a few presents to pick up and had a nice time exploring the roadside stands. After Devin did a little work we headed to the beach for some swimming and sun. The beach was beautiful with clear water and many palm trees dotting the beach. Following the bright sunshine we took a little walk down the beach to Rocking J's. Rocking J's is an intriguing hostel that has mosaics everywhere and was definitely designed with an artist eye. Devin and I taught Bev Mexican Train Dominoes while we indulged in a pitcher to Tico Tea… a local beverage made with Rum and many juices. Afterwards we headed back to the van to make spaghetti. Devin and I then went to a local joint to listen to some live music, they were very talented and one of the guys even played a ukulele.

The next day we shopped around for some snorkeling gear and ended up getting a great deal on some equipment. So we all took turns snorkeling out in the clear water. Although there wasn't much to see the beach was beautiful and it was a great day!

We headed to a new town just a little North of Puerto Viejo, so that we could get up...

To see some of the Country's most beautiful beaches, just head east from Puerto Viejo towards Panama. Somewhere in between you'll find magestic places like Manzanillo and Punta Uva. ride a bike to the west and you'll find the small town of Cahuita, which even has it's own rum distillery, making a delicious coconut flavored rum that makes Malibu taste like bleach. From Puerto Viejo, it's just a short day trip to Bocas Del Toro on the Caribbean side, which is booming from what was a kind of backpackers secret spot, to a newly found luxury destination and spring break spot....

Apparently, the five foreigners were abandoned on Manzanillo beach, near Puerto Viejo, and made to believe they were in Canada, presumably the final destination of the trip, the ministry explained.

I really recommend going towards Manzanillo, you can rent bikes, the road is lovely and calm. The earlier you leave the more of wildlife spottings you'll have.Oh yeah, we love riding bikes to Manzanillo and Puerto Viejo both. Just ride with a partner and I'd avoid it at night. We found Azania a good location to walk up the road to Totem Restaurant which was quite good--Italian, I think. Also, La Pecora Nera is excellent--also Italiano.

The suspect, identified in the latest La Nación article by last name Lewis (but previously referred to by last name Mitchell) was initially ordered held in preventative detention for three months by a Bribri judge. He had been held since June 3. The prosecutor had said there was sufficient proof to hold him while the investigation proceeded but the Limon judge has taken a different view.

Well, I started out in Monteverde, which is in the northeast part of the country. The border crossing to Panama en route to Bocas was down in the southeastern part of the country, the Caribbean side. I know, I don't always make the most rational decisions. I decided not to try to go all the way but to try to make it Puerto Viejo, which is near the border. The plan would have worked better if I would have been more aware of the huge holiday going on, Semana Santa, which is Holy Week around Easter. In Costa Rica this is a big deal. I took the public bus for like 2 dollars from Monteverde to San Jose, and San Jose is where I encountered problems.
