Lets really get this trip started.

Buenos Dias Todos! Lets start this day off with a lovely cold shower with the supposed hostel water heater!
We gave ourselves a nice exploring tour of San Jose around our hostel and then were beckoned by a tico to a nice breakfast spot where we were served our beans and rice with a smile. Beans and Rice for 20 days shall be fabulous. Roberto picked us up at 10 for a day at Jaco! For all of you who don't know how to pronounce spanish words it is pronounced "haco" not "jack-o". However, the latter is much more preferable with the 3 mochileros. Michael Roberto and I decided there was no better way to start the trip off than to get shot off at 60mph in a harness with bungee cords. Shortly following Michael and I willing dove toward a 12 foot deep pool from around 55 feet up off the most unsturdy looking platform there could be. After our blood was pumping from bungee jumping our hunger set in and Roberto led the way to Jaco's famous fish tacos. You choose what type of meat you would like and head over to the salad bar where you load that puppy up. Roberto chose camarones, Brooke chose Mahi, Katie chose salmon, and Michael chose beef. After 20 minutes for digestion it was time to hit up the waves with a longboard. Michael got on those waves like a pro and Katie and I tried our hand at surfing for the first time with Roberto as our instructor. We both successfully got up on our first trys! We both also successfully ate it for the next few attempts. Overall we were all bitten by the surfing bug and now that becoming a pro surfer has made it to the list of all of our life dreams we plan to surf as much as we can here. Back in San Jose Roberto threw us a BBQ and we met all of his fun friends whose nicknames include huevo and negro. The food was so good thanks to la receta de Roberto.
In summary, Roberto is the greatest human being alive, Costa Rica is amazing, life is good, and there is a creepy old man in our hostel who precedes every morning to wake up at 5:30 sit in his bed and stare in our general direction.
Mochileros.
