Another ride 80 miles to the inspection station, another wasted day. Apparently, the computer system for customs and the police doesn´t communicate with the one for the Revisón (inspection) so they wouldn´t let us do anything. The craziest part is that rather than entering our data into their system at the place, the procedure is to FAX the sheets to San Jose where some technician there does the data entry!!!!!!!!!!! Unbloodybelievable!!!!!!! Holy Mother of God.
Time is running out for me to get this done as I fly home Monday and still have much to do at the house in Esterillos plus lawyer business in Jacó. So now, my tentative plan is to try again tomorrow, a prospect which gives me scant hope, and if that doesn´t work, then leave my bike at Jogi´s. Later, he and a friend can ride to Nicoya for the damn inspection, and I´ve already signed a power of attorney with his lawyer to take care of the remainder of the paperwork. I would have to rent a car here and drive to my house.
On the way back, we stopped and saw some toucans......beautiful birds indeed.
We all went out to dinner at the Coconut restaurant, and had a great meal complete with a serenade by strolling musicians, pictures of the ladies in cowboy hats and much merriment. Tomorrow, we´ll try again at the inspection station. (fingers crossed)
