Enga mellom fjella: where from across the meadow, poems sing from mountains and molehills. |
I forgot to post my last blog. Had trouble finding it but finally did; by then it was past midnight WDC time. Oh well... Me: Went to two adjacent beaches ... just like yesterday. Visited Brasilito and Conchal. Conchal is absolute lovely and one can walk down a somewhat shady road. Believe me ... this matters. Walked a LOT. Brasilito is a nice beach too. The town is a bit tacky. But that's typical for beach towns. The hotel right by the beach is $49/night plus 13% tax if you pay with a card. My hotel in Nicoya is 8 per night and the bus there and back cost around 7. The not-a-highlight was an aggresive dog and near the bus stop a fight. I spoke with the police 3 times wondering why they had the young man in cuffs and not the older man who was wielding a knife. Hmmm ...the 3rd time they wanted to talk to me as someone said that I'd been assaulted. That really pissed me off... A culture of thieves, injustice and lies? So like the U.S. I could bore you with the images of sand, breeze, noise... but I won't. Yes, I took notes and even wrote a 'postcard'. That will wait until another time. I want to go to bed early, get up early, leave at a reasonable time ... where? Probably a couple nights in La Cruz. And maybe yet another beach! |
