I arrived in Liberia, Costa Rica a couple of days ago… and love it. It feels alot like parts of Guatemala but it here in Liberia I don’t see the same classic colonial architecture and general influence like I did in Antigua.

Last night the US played Costa Rica in the World Cup Qualifier in San Jose, Costa Rica… it’s about 4 hours drive from where I am and I was so close to going but after reading about how crazy the fans could get and considering the route there was full of unknown and poorly maintained roads, I had to stay here in Liberia.

I did, however, make it out to a little pub where the fans were probably loud enough to be heard in San Jose. The best was when the US took a penalty kick and everybody in the place around me started yelling and screaming as if they were trying to distract the shooter…Alas, it didn’t work, the US put a goal in the last couple minutes of the game.

Rapido! Rapido!! GOOAAALLLLLLLL!!!

We lost 3-1.

Today, P-dodd gets in and we are headed to the beach to do some camping and tagproject scouting/brainstorming.

Got some cool images yesterday form the shore but haven’t loaded them online yet. Will get some online in the next couple of days.
