Experiencing Costa Rica
via Bus
Traveling through a
foreign country with few
paved roads, confusing
road signs, gigantic
potholes, and constant
traffic can be tough on
a traveler. So why have
to worry about the
details when you don’t
have to?

My
Thoughts On Costa Rica
After 13 hours of
travel, I arrive in
Costa Rica. As I left
the airport, my
excitement flourished. I
sit in the back seat of
a smal car, window down.
My dead lay on my hand,
rested upon the window
sill. Green explosions
encompassing the earth,
whether welcomed or not,
it does not matter.
