I am now in Monteverde, a great little town flanked by two national parks. It is a prime hiking lugar and I am hitting the trails bright and early tomorrow (7:30 bus... yikes!) I am relieved to get out of Tamarindo in that they had no Tican food, only pizza. And they also had an overabundance of mosquitos. I have been trying various remedies, rubbing onions on the bites, letting toothpaste dry on them, eating raw, yes RAW garlic; basically looking a fool to any local who sees me fret over my small pox (I look infected I have so many little bites.) Now I have returned to a land of mountains, cooler breezes and gallo pinto.
Also, random story, when I was in La Cruz I ate breakfast in this woman´s kitchen, it´s a long story. Her name is Candy and she´s EXTREMELY religious. She will randomly shoot off praising God and it kept confusing me. She prayed over me, it was a little awkward, and she asked God to forgive and protect the sinners, the prostitutes and me. And in true church lady fashion she asked if I was traveling alone. When I said yes she wagged a ´gotcha´finger at me and goes ¨You´re never alone! God is always with you!¨
Who´s the goose?
