lightening my load in mal pais

We meet this couple who are heading to the same area of Peninsula Nicoya and hop a taxi to the bus terminal. Nice bus ride through some country areas and arrive at Paquera where we buy our ferry tix and have some casados and cervesas. casado is a plate of food with rice and beans some veggies and some protien. Delicious and about $2-3, sweet! The ferry ride was beautiful and then we got a shady cab to take us probobly bout an hour to the beach on dirt roads.

We get to the beach and its kind of like an inlet with the shoreline curving out on both sides of us, Surfers and peolple chillin. I immediatly drop my pack strip and run for the water.

We ask around and end up camping at the Surf Camp. It was a pretty nice joint with some cabinas, a reasturnat/bar, pool etc. They just happened to be having an open mic party with live music and a mechanical bull and keep in mind this is spring break time. We check our passports and a couple other things with them and i see some guy check his whole pack and think i should too cuase of the party. Aaron some how convinces me its not neccesary and we discuss how if anyone wants to steal our shit then they must need it more than us and they can have it. The party is rowdy to say the least and i get wasted. Stumble around and end up passed out on hammock. Aaron wakes me the next day with "Our packs our gone". I respond with "wonderful" and get up to check the scene of the crime. When i get there I realize the thiefs went through my bag and left me with a pair of pants, a t shirt and most importantly my swimming trunks. I burst out into laughter becuase what else is there to do in a situation like that.

So let me give ya a run down of exactly what i have now
1 tent
1 sleeping bag
1 sleeping mat
1 pair of shorts
1 pair of pants
1 pair of bathing trunks
1 pair of shoes
1 cd player ( which i checked)
5 mp3 discs
1 book on tibeten buddhism
1 nalgene bottle

i have since purhcased
1 pair of flipflops
1 pair of sunglasses
1 hammock which i have slept in every night

Needless to say we moved the next day to a much chiller campsite on the beach where we have been since thursday supper chillin. Get up with sunrise, eat great fruit and food made by beatiful ticos, swim, walk, smoke carrotes (tico for phatty joint) hang with ticos and other travelers and thats bout it. Startin to feel like mozeyin on but not sure really what were gonna do. probobly meet yem in San jose and probobly still try to be on the peninsula de osa for the elcipse but other than that not sure.
