June 25th- Travel in Costa Rica

San Jose- Nicoya- bus stations- Nosara
Shaty towns pave the whirling twirling roads
Catch a shuttle- Tamarindo bust...shit
No bus from Tamarindo to Nosara
Nicoya instead please

Hours down the bumpy road
up and down up and down
Itching to see playa
Cows and horses color
Every rain colored hill top
30 minute rest stop
Cafe' con leche please

Bus- stop- near Nicoya
Call a taxi- wait
Get to bus station- wait
Wait- wait -wait
Wish we had the money to take a taxi

Nicoya bus station- other wordly
Street dogs beg under benches
Uniformed teens carry MTV book-bags
Peanuts and carbon monoxide mix in the air
In this Tico meeting place

A brown aged man with faded hat
Picks dirt from his finger nail
A young couple exchange parrot kisses
Languidly admiring the country side

Rain starts falling- bus windows stuck
"Oh shit"
To which a man replies
"No shit- water"

A woman advertises her goods
"pepsi fria y platano con limon"
Bump and Grind
No Street Signs
Miss our stop... shit
Call another taxi
Phone card doesn't work
Well Fuck...
