Here’s the Thing

After several days of rain in Bocas del Toro, I decided to cut my losses and head up the road to Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica. This is not to say that I didn’t thoroughly enjoy my time in Bocas. I met some great people, including a sound engineer from Toronto who likes to talk shop as much as I do. After a rainy boat ride and border crossing, I finally reached Puerto Viejo, checked into the hostel (where I will be sleeping in a tent!) and rented a bicycle to get me around town for the next five days or so. Having found an Internet cafe and scoped out two of the four music-blasting bars in town, I’m feeling comfortably settled in my new neighborhood. Tonight is reggae night, and tomorrow I’m going to split my time between salsa and rock music, I think. Also, I saw a poster advertising some sort of music festival starting on the 9th, so I may be able to pack a pretty good music buffet into my last week of freedom. Either way, I feel pretty relaxed and optimistic about the coming week.
