bye bye San Jose part 1
admin on Sep 26th 2004
The trip is finally coming down to the last couple of hours. We left Montezuma and headed to Fortuna. We all woke up and got to Paquera to take the ferry at 6 am. On our way to Montezuma, I told the captain that Avani (the indian) had never seen a ship before and wanted to drive the ship, so he let her! HAHA! And there was this little boy that had an eye for Judy and kept harrassing her!
On our way back, Judy was the only one awake with me (I drove and was going to continue to drive to Fortuna). We ended up sticking chewed bubble gum on everyone’s forehead! HAHA
It was a very LONG trip to Fortuna, but we made it and found a 2 bedroom 2 bathroom house for $75 a night! On the 23rd, we went white water rafting in class III/IV rapids on Rio Torro. It was an amazing adventure, and we had to work really hard because the guide put my fat ass in the front, Jabran behind me, and the 3 girls on one side. We had a LOT of close calls, but eventually, we actually did flip over. Hazel and I got caught under a current and we were both scared shitless because we kept on getting rammed against the rock wall. Eventually, they threw a line to us and we made it back to shore.
That night, Peter and I drank god knows how many liters of beer while everyone else took part in other festivities. Peter is a funny guy, but that doesn’t surprise me, since we share the same twisted humor.
On the 24th, we took a day excursion to the Arenal Volcano, a live volcano. The guys made it to the lava rock area quickly, and waited there, hiding behind a tree. I walked with the girls, and as soon as we got there, they jumped out. What did the girls do apart from screamind? Yup, they grabbed me and pushed me towards the tree. Can you feel the love?
Judy & I couldn’t see the point of crossing 2 kms of lava rock, so we stayed behind and had about a 4 hour long conversation under the grueling sun. Maybe we should have gotten the car key so we wouldn’t get stuck under the sun with no shade? We did, however, see the volcano erupt and saw lava flow, except it was during the day and it just looked like flowing stone.
We went bar hopping that night and ended up taking some beers to the volcano to see if we could catch it erupting at night, but we were only able to hear it rumble.
