The picture I've been waiting to take!
THURSDAY April 10
Left Tamarindo around 11, and made my eventual way to Jaco'. Beautiful ride of about 120 miles, but it was "eventual" because I got turned around in Puntarenas and had to stop and ask directions twice from (our mainstay during the trip) taxi drivers. My map didn't show it, but Jogi had told me that there was now a bridge across Golfo de Nicoya
at it's most inland part of course and this saved a lot of time versus going around the gulf or taking a 1 1/2 hour ferry across. Thought about swinging into Jaco', but it was starting to rain a little and threatened a lot more, so I made it to Esterillos Oeste, told the guard at the project I had a house there, but he (very reassuringly I must say) insisted on checking with the sales office who vouched for my bona fides and just like that..............I was parked at my house. It seems a bit unreal to see my bike at my house here in Costa Rica. Total distance traveled: 4120 miles.

Total distance traveled: 4120 miles.After unloading, I rode down to the beach, had a few beers to pat myself on the back a bit, then pizza at the place across the road from the Low Tide Bar. Back at the house, I spent considerable time putting sheets on the bottom bunk, got the air conditioning working to my great relief, showered and turned in. ¡El viaje mio es terminado finalmente!
