Last day in Costa Rica

We are back in San Jose and everyone is leaving for the airport for the trip back to reality. Last night it took approximately 4 hours to get from Monte Verde to here - about 1 1'2 hours on unpaved road and the rest in traffic on paved road. Gina said that the road we were on goes all the way through S America to Canada so there were lots of trucks in front of us. I could have used my hand signals from my comedy routine if I was driving - luckily I wasn´t !
Our hotel here is so beautiful and is a great way to start and end this adventure.
I plan to post some pictures within a week or so. Most people had digital cameras so there should be good pictures soon - and then there are my 4 clunky disposable cameras that will need to be processed. If I didn´t have that many cameras I could have bought a few more souveniers :)
My plan is now to come back after taking a Spanish lesson or two. I don´t think I´m doing well on my own with my CD´s and books. Or maybe do the Spanish emersion that Gwen and Gary did - now I need to hear more about that.
Until later - adios
