Welcome to Costa Rica

 Idream Now has been recently upgraded to http://idreamnowtravelblog.com/

The first sign you see when arriving in Costa Rica reads as follows.  “Welcome to Costa Rica: Any sexual activity with a minor is punishable by imprisonment.”  It was not the welcoming sign I was expecting to see; I had clearly entered a third world country that was very far from home. 

The airport in Liberia was a small bunker, the high hanging lights over head where being dimmed by the huge swarm of insects all around them.   Every two to three seconds an insect would land or crash into you.  I  breezed through customs that seemed more like a welcoming committee then anything else.  Because of my 4 hour delay the last bus for Tamarindo was long gone and it was either going to be a ridiculously expensive cab ride or maybe get lucky with some improvising.  “Anyone going to Tamarindo?”

What happened next is the reason I love traveling on a complete whime without any set plans what so ever…..
