costa rica to nicaragua

today i arrived in granada, nicaragua. an old coloniel establishment (not sure of the complete history yet).

-left san jose, costa rica a few days ago (not sure) for la fortuna, cr. spent 2 days walking around volcan arenal (active volcano). watched lava flow down the northern slope at night. the following morning hiked through arenal´s national park and had the pleasure of watching it erupt again in the day light. not nearly as dramatic, but heard the volcanoe breathe and watched the ash and lava fall from the lip. hiked back down and swam in a natural hot spring. very refreshing. hung out with an isreali couple and barbequed entirely too much food.
-the following morning headed to monteverde, cr. took a jeep at 6:30 am to lake arenal where a boat took us to the other side where another jeep picked us up and took us to a coffee\cheese co-op. from there we went to adventura zip line tour. not what it sounds like. spend 3 hours hanging above undisturbed virgin forest going super fast (maybe 20-30 mph) . did a ¨tarzan¨swing thing that made me nearly shit my pants. took bus to the town of monteverde.
-mounteverde is a super windy quaker town where you can see the pacific ocean, but are more than 4 hour drive. the roads are unpaved which prevents development. literally the land meets the sky. had dinner and went to sleep.
-woke at 3:30 am and took bus to nicaragua. the customs\boarder process was a pain in the ass, but arrived in granada, nica at 2:30 pm. its about 7:30 now and i have no idea what we will do tomorrow. maybe stay, maybe go to ometepa (a volcano in lake nicaragua). hopefully get to solenamtine islands where an artist community is. i dont think i will have internet access for a few days, so probably wont update again until january 30.

oh yeah! went to puerto veijo, orosi, jaco, and a few other anonomaus vilages around costa rica before arriving in la fortuna. a fantastic voyage. hopefully it gets better.

for some odd reason i can´t speell check and don´t care to reread this, so forgive my misstakes. i will also post pictures as soon as i get back to the states, which may be later then sooner.

oh and big ups toi TW, the only one who may read this thing. i´ll write you soon enough.
