Puerto Viejo- Rocking J's






So we spent the weekend in a small city on the Carribean Sea with some friends, Omega and Stacie, from our Spanish language school.. It was literally a few blocks long. We took a 4 hour long bus ride from San Jose. The trip itself was eventful as a police check point decided to have all the passengers exit, search our bags for cocaine-which they did not find-and waste 45 minutes of my time.. Dear Costa Rican government-Not acceptable!

Once to the city we headed over to Rocking J's, locked our stuff up and went and grabbed some much needed dinner! Had a delicious handmade pizza and headed back to the hostel where more police abounded! This time however, we were on the beach and they were looking for "un hombre loco en moto, quien es ladron" a crazy man who stole a motorcycle.. quite interesting..

The forecast was for rain all day Saturday, but it did not rain until 11pm that night which allowed us to enjoy the beach and beautiful skies! The beach was covered in holes made by crabs burrowing into the ground. It was a sight to see crabs scurry into their holes once we walked near them.. some were quite big (blue monsters)! Also saw some huge lobsters that were caught by a fisherman and a sloth!
