So I forgot to tell about semana santa. We got button hooked trying to leave the Peninsual Nicoya. WE hitched a ride with our tico student friends to the ferry but when we got to mainland all the buses had stopped running early. A taxi upto the central highlands would have cost 120 between 2 so got one to san jose for 60 between 4. San Jose was dead like NYC on Sunday morning at 5am for 2 whole days. pretty wierd but really nice to be able to walk the streets without getting honked at or acosted. although the crackheads didnt have any holiday plans and were still out in force perro no me importa.
