more travels...

last week i realized i was approaching the end of my 90 day visa

later last week i realized i could not renew from the immigration office, but rather that i had to leave honduras and go to a non-border sharing country (guatemala, el salvador and nicaragua do not count)

the night before i was leaving to go to costa rica, i learned i had to leave the country for at least 72 hours


so wednesday morning at 5:30 am i caught the bus to san jose, costa rica. it was a long day on the bus, as we arrived after 10 pm. it was an even longer day because the movies they showed on the bus were kung fu, two steven segal movies and "music videos" of Spanish classics from the early 80,s.

so i,ve been camped out at a little hotel in downtown san jose, biding my time by doing as much free stuff as possible until i head back. traveling alone like this is a first, but it has been a good experience.

two highlights: 1 visiting the school in a san jose suburb that i attended in 00-01 and seeing old friends there. 2 seeing the movie blood diamond... excelent. i cried and it is getting priority on my ballot at the coming oscar party.
