Costa Rica

So, I finally left Guatemela yesterday on the King Quality Bus Line. Its a pretty nice bus line, with plenty of leg room and some coffee and food service - sort of like a plane only a little more comfy. We got to El Salvador around 9 o clock and stayed the night at a hotel in San Salvador. We then left at 3:30 in the morning (!) for what should have been a midnight arrival, but didn´t actually get into San Jose, Costa Rica until 1:30. Keep in mind that includes passage through El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, and half of Costa Rica. But still, it was a long and tiring day. However, when else can I watch Jumper, The Marine and Firehouse Dog all in the same day, all in Spanish?! Oy.

One interesting thing on the bus was talking to some Ticos about how different Guatemalan and Costa Rican Spanish are. This should be an interesting adjustment.  I´m too tired to remember any examples now, but next time.

I´ll be filling in the blog soon with pictures and stories from the dopcumentary I helped make back in Momostenango, Guatemala and about what the next couple of months look like. Hope all is well.
