Costa Rica and Panama: Misc
These are pictures from the course of the trip that were taken with my iPhone. Thank you Jeff and Joseph for hanging out with me for a month. Good times.
Panama: Punte Peña, David, y Boquete
We spent a night at each of those places and did some biking in between. Our trip was coming to an end.
Costa Rica to Panama: Cahuita, Puerto Viejo, Almirante, Bocas del Toro
We started the day in the mountain town of La Fortuna we ended up on the Caribbean coast in Cahuita thanks to a bus and 100k of riding.
Cahuita was a quant little town, and after spending a night there and taking a stroll in the nearby national park we decided to spend new years eve in the nearby town of Puerto Viejo.
After one action-packed night in Puerto Viejo that seemed like two in my memory due to how action-packed it was, we hit the road again, bumbled our way across the border into Panama, spent a night in the port town of Almirante and then grabbed a boat to the resort destination of Bocas del Toro.
Costa Rica: Liberia, Upala, San Rafael de Gustavo, La Fortuna
We left the Pacific Ocean at Coco and biked to Liberia and hopped on a bus to Upala, near the border of Nicaragua. We had been told that Rio Celeste was a very blue river worth checking out and Joseph had been talking about wanting to go to La Fortuna for a long time.
After swimming in a hot river we discovered that La Fortuna is a very popular city with white people. Ziplines and mini-golf are mandatory. We promptly left.
Costa Rica: Playa Carrillo, Samara, Tamarindo, Coco
We spent the greater part of a day trying to follow the coast from Samara. Our lovely dirt road turned into a rather hellish mixture of a much rougher dirt road combined with lots of traffic.
Dust was everywhere.
I could not imagine what it would be like to live there. We hightailed it out on a bus to Nicoya to meet up with our old friend, pavement.
Costa Rica: Following the Coast from Montezuma
Beaches and biking on the western edge of the Nicoya Peninsula.
Costa Rica: San Jose a Playa Tambor
Pictures from the first several days of a month spent bicycle touring through Costa Rica (mostly) and Panama (less so) in December and January. We did about 750 miles in total.

Late Fall Rain in Yosemite
Yosemite Falls, the Merced River, and the Yosemite Valley area in the middle of November.
Poopenaut Valley
Got to get outside for work last Friday.
As rare these days as it is appreciated.
San Diego
Last weekend I took a road trip down to San Diego to visit Val for her birthday. Some of the warmest November days I have ever spent in my life. A good time was had by all.
