quepos, costa rica

thought i'd just post a little about the town i'll be in - at least for my initial training - quepos. from let's go costa rica 2003 (yes, a very old version, which i bought used and cheap since the new version will come out just after i arrive and there was no point in buying a full priced version that will be out of date in a month):

"three and a half hours south of san jose, the city of quepos is one of the central pacific's most well-trodden destinations, not so much because it has anything of real interest to see, but rather for its proximity to tourist-magnet parque nacional manual antonio and the dozens of tour operators who run adventure trips into the raging rivers and wild mountain terrain just outside town."

so a quiet town near (expensive, i hear) adventure travel. mostly i'm hoping to come back at christmas time with a tan and to be a slightly better surfer. oh yeah, and be certified to teach english as a second language. :) i'm very excited about my trip and if i manage to meet some people half as cool as the people i met teaching in japan, then it should be a great time.

in 48 hours from now i should have actually touched down in costa rica to begin my adventure. buen viaje!
