San Jose again... and Poas

Well I guess our last sano banano night was where we left off. The next day we took Part I of our luggage to montezuma ...our big rolling bags... and that was HELL. my arms are STILL sore and my thighs have bruises haha. But Bra had a hostel there for the night so we left them there so of course we would only have our backpacks to bring the morning we were leaving. But cass had 2 backpacks still haha. lots of big souvenirs and such. Anywho... later that day we worked on the garden and relocated the tomato plants to the outside garden patch that we had just fixed up and that was the last work we did in Montezuma. That night we had a huge nerts card game going. 4 pairs of 2 playing and that was a blast. Then we had a bonfire where we roasted hotdogs and smores and banana boats and had a good ole time with everybody. Finally... a last spades game with cass me lenin and lucas.. .a german volunteer who will be there for a year. Lenin loved spades so we played all the time. Then we hit the sack...got up at 4:30 the next morning... yesterday... and headed to the bus stop. We had a long day of traveling and got to san jose around 1 yesterday. we had some errands to run around town then just chilled at pangea and got to bed early.
Today we had a day trip to Volcan Poas. It was fairly cheap, a 1 hour 30 min bus trip one way, about 6 dollars round trip. Normally 10 dollars to get into the national park but only about a dollar and half for us with our ASVO volunteer passes so that was nice. It was really relaxing, had a short trail to the lookout over the volcano crater. At first looked like we wouldn´t have much of a view but it cleared up nicely and we could see quite well. Then a short hike futher to a big like type lagoon. And then we hung out in the souvenir shop and got a banana flavor cappaccino which was amazing. We´ve been told by people that Poas has the best coffee. So we spent an enjoyable 3 hours or so up there and then came back around 4, now just chillin again. Tomorrow my friend David Hewitt will fly into san jose so we´ll meet up with him and the next day all head to federicos for a few days of PURE ENTERTAINMENT i´m sure... Peace...11 days left...
