Well David isn't much more than a big noisy city. Other than the city park across the street there are countless clothing and shoe stores. We were able to find a bank that would accept my m/card so we got enough U.S. funds to last us through our next stop and get us back to Costa Rica. We've booked a place in a small village East of here called Boquete. The population is only around 1500 which will be quite a change from here.
We took a cab to the bus station this afternoon and picked up our tickets for Monday morning. The bus leaves at 8:30 a.m. so we have to leave Boquete very early in order to catch it. That will be a long day for sure. We'll probably stay in San Jose again and then take another bus to Liberia where we'll catch another one in the direction of Punta Islita where our third bag has been stored at Jim and Patty's.
There was another concert in the city park across the street tonight. We missed a bunch of little girls all dressed up in traditional clothes. They must have been dancing. There was also a young guy about 17 singing. He had an incredible voice like that of an opera singer which you'd never figure coming from such a young man. During the concert we were standing down on the sidewalk with parked vans behind us on the street when all of a sudden they started letting off fireworks on the street side of the van. These were skyrockets and going off right over our heads which was a little unnerving to say the least.
You'd think that would be the excitement for the day but as we lay here listening to the audio book on the computer there was an earth tremor! We were shaking and vibrating for several minutes. Hopefully that's over with. I thought someone was under the bed for a minute there.
That's about our day. Looking forward to leaving in the morning as this is just another big noisy city. Every driver is in love with his horn and the car alarms only work when someone is singing in the park. When we made our reservations this morning for the next three days Jo talked to an American who was on the other end and he described it as a beautiful place with a veranda facing the river and very quiet. There's also a lot of jungle trails with wildlife according to the travel book which is our constant companion. It will be nice to get back to the piece and quiet of a small village. Guess we're still hicks at heart.
