Yesterday, washed clothes, washed the bike, relaxed and just hung out.
Laura, Jogi and Verena's daughter
We went out for pizza at a great little place, owned and run by Italians incidentally so the food was quite good. Was wearing my Valentino Rossi shirt by happenchance which was quite well received by our hosts with comments of, ¨Valentino! ¡Muy Bueno!¨ etc.
Buddy, who reminds me of my dog Dewey
Today was a bust however as we rode 35 miles to Nicoya to the Revisón (the government station where you must have your vehicle inspected as another step in the lengthy process of obtaining registration. We have the official papers in our hand from the customs agent at the border, but were told that we were not yet officially in their computer system (???) (this from Saturday) and thus could do nothing until we were. This could take as long as 3 days, but there may be a way to cut it to one which means we could get this accomplished tomorrow. I can´t believe the inefficiency and lack of communication of the government bureaucracies here. Makes the DMV seem like a model of productivity.
Did buy some sheets for the house, a few other little items needed for survival and changed some money so the trip wasn´t a total waste. Will know later this afternoon if we can do it tomorrow.
