So, umm...
First things first. My camera has crapped out. I may be able to get pictures off of it, the ones that I have taken, but my ability to take pictures has been diminished fairly effectively. And, um, shit, this compter doesnt have USB!! so I cant do that right now.
As some people may have already assumed, Im in Costa Rica. But not for much longer. Day after tomorrow, Im planning on crossing into Panama.... getting close, I can almost taste the desiel.
Something I wrote in an entry I had going a few days ago:
Wow. So tired right now. Last night, I barely slept, due to a slarge of mosquitos in the night. And then today, I felt sick once again.. which was aggrivated by my lack of energy and lack of stamina from not sleeping. And.. since Im back in the lowlands of Costa Rica, it was convienently hot and humid.. which, all combined with needing to make more distance towards Panama on my bike full of stuff, equalled a very painful start to today.
Yeah.. still feeling shitty. I decided to take an off day, I havent road my bike at all today. But still, I have no energy, I think it might be due to my diet or something. Hard to eat right when youre focusing on making distance, I guess. It loooks like that Ill easily have enough time to reach the Canal before my brother and sister and Rob get here, but I might have to bus part of the way back. Travel is slower since Ive been trying to go faster.
I slept long and hard last night. Felt a liiittle better, this morning.. and I was feeling that it would be best for me to get up and put a few Kms under my belt. So I started packing up my tent.. but felt a little light headed so I laid down for a second.. and woke up 3 hours later. So I stayed.
But I dont feel bad enough that I think Im actually sick.. I blame how Im feeling on diet, heat/humidity, and the fact that Ive gone ten days without stopping to catch my breath. Been riding hard every day, and it killed me. Thinking back, this is the longest stretch Ive done to date aswell, so.. maybe thats it.
So.. Update..
Right NOW, Im in Puerto Limon, in Costa Rica. Ive seen the San Jose International Airport, exactly where Im going to meet brothersisterRob. Ive counted and recounted the days still I get to see them (Im not anxcious or excited. Im frickin screaming to see them.) I climbed a volcano (2798m) on my bike with stuff, took me 7 hours to finish. 7 hours of climbing, kick me in the balls please. Ive broken 12 spokes, in total. And Im 98km from the Panama Border. Hell yeah.
Besides being sick, Ive had some really great experiences here in Costa Rica. Ive also noticed how differnt Costa Rica is from the rest of Central America.. including the people. Dont have time right now to discribe them, as some people who came into Limon with me are waiting (Limon is dangerous, and they were nice enough to escort me in).
Anyways. The black death panther of the neon brown lagoon is again taking the waffle-sized bite out of the fistfull of pretty yellow hornets I fed him.
Keep on keepin´ on. Peace and love.
