What You Need To Know About Costa Rica That Nobody Tells You
I have lived in Playa del Coco for four weeks and Playa Flamingo for five weeks now. I also stayed in Tamarindo and San Jose. I have met a ton of people from Potrero as I live near the border of Coco and Potrero and have frequented businesses in Potrero. This is my overall observations of Playa del Coco. I have decided to include this post because I seem to meet a lot of people who are debating between Coco, Potrero, Flamingo, and Tamarindo. I thought I would keep this simple and make a list.

What You Need To Know About Costa Rica That Nobody Tells You
We are off to Tamarindo! Jorge, the nice driver, picked me up from the hotel as promised. However, he had no idea where the bus terminal was. I tried to Google it but not much turned up. I gave him the name of the bus company, Transportes Alfaro, and he asked if it was in San Jose. Thirty minutes later, he pulled over in front of a closed garage door and was puzzled. He said Transportes Alfaro used to be located there but was no longer. I asked if we should be looking for the bus terminal instead of the company and he said probably but he didn’t know where it was. I remembered that the concierge, Edgar, had given me his phone number so I gave it to Jorge to call him. When he called, Edgar said that he didn’t know either. This was puzzling to me. How can two people in the tourism industry for over two decades not know where the main bus terminal was? Eventually Google led us there.

I took a “taxi” (i.e. not a red taxi but one that had Turismo sticker on it as many tour companies use their fleet as “taxis”) that the hotel approved of and met an elderly driver who spoke some English and relied on Google Translate for the rest. I paid him $25 US to drive the 10 km distance to the European School which is comparable to the taxi fare from the airport (10 km also). Although it was located only 10 km away from my hotel, it took about 30 minutes to get there due to traffic at 11 am on a Friday. He was so friendly and enthusiastic that I ended up hiring him for the day. He quoted me $20 per hour and I thought it was reasonable.

Lessons Learned From a Third World Country

The Wanderer
Life without my dad has been almost painfully normal. I’ve always thought about him in another era, one ancient and primal where he belonged, wandering an unknown world. I think he was one of the last of a certain kind of person, and the mundane world I was raised in was crushing at times for him. He was the odd one, the one who lived for extremes and wild places, and telling stories about him sometimes feels like fiction, even though I was there and I know that some people really are the main character, gloriously flawed and inherently special.
