Come on come on won’t you get me to my room – John Fogerty
The wedding was excellent – vows on the beach, family and friends, wonderful food, drinking and dancing… Pamela knows how to throw a party. I’ll drop a link to the blog I’m sure she’s creating as soon as I know where it is.
Here are a couple highlight pictures to wet your whistle:

Thursday was a long travel day to La Fortuna, where we said good bye to Dan & Kaitlyn. They went to San Jose on Friday, and we went to Cahuita. Since we left at 6:00 AM, they did not see us off, but Facebook says they arrived O.K.
The trip was uneventful, although we saw some beautiful country. Here’s a shot taken beside the spot where we did a transfer:
And here’s a roadside sloth taking a break:
Anxious to see our friends from the last trip, we arrived about 2 hours late in Cahuita. This was a first for Interbus, and we were surprised, but happy to finally be here. The trip was tiring, with over 12 hours of the previous 24 on a bus.Cahuita has not fared well in the recession. Many stores are closed, most things are in need of repair. Selection at the stores – particularly the grocery store - is very poor. Tired and a bit frustrated, we went to bed early. Hopefully the howler monkeys will cheer us up in the morning.

I’m a bit behind in my blogging. I want to tell you about something that happened to Dan and Kaityn, the woman he loves dearly. (See Kaitlyn we are proud to say that you’re his girlfriend.) Dan and Kaitlyn decided to go on a night tram ride in the mountains. There were 2 trams to choose from. One was $50 and it went up for 15 minutes and then down again for 15 minutes. They weren’t impressed with that one so they found another one that was $25, and went for 2 hours. Well that sounded good so off they went.
The taxi took them there and the people who owned it seemed genuinely shocked that someone had shown up. They sent their son out first to try it to see if it worked and that there was nothing poisonous up ahead. Then they put Dan and Kaitlyn onto it, next to a spider the size of a golf ball, and off they went. The thing had been built 20 or 30 years ago and what must have been a lovely view was now a scary tunnel through the jungle. The top of the tram was arching and sparking and they were a little worried that they might set the jungle on fire. Since they weren’t handed any flashlights they assumed that there would be lights on the way. Nope! Soon Dan and Kaitlyn realized that they were heading through a hole in the dark jungle. After about 15 minutes a young boy ran up to them and gave them a flashlight. They also gave Kaitlyn a blanket because they thought she looked cold. All in all the people turned out to be very nice they had a coffee and a nice visit with D & K. They actually tell the story better, so if you run into them, have Kaitlyn tell you.
