In order to regain my legal status in Guatemala, I had to leave the country for a few days.  Being mojado isn’t as bad as it sounds, but the fine adds up after a while…

A big thanks to Myrna (Otto’s mom) who drove me to immigration to take care of my fine before flying out. 

I just flew into San Jose Costa Rica this afternoon after a bit of a long flight.   Due to weather conditions, the airport in San Jose was closed, so I had to temporarily land in Guanacaste to wait out the storm.  The total flight time ended up being 5-6 hours as opposed to 1.5 -2.   Oh well, what’re you gonna do…

So I meet up with my sister Jen and her husband David tomorrow.  I am going to be hanging out with them here in San Jose until the 22nd.  They will then fly back to the US.

The following day, Melissa and our friend Pablo will fly into San Jose from Cuba.  We’ll be here until the 30th.  We don’t really have anything planned out beyond our first day, but I’m not too worried about it, we’ll ask around and get the opinions/recommendations of the locals…
