1. well i made it here just fine... i got in at about 940, right on time...
had no problems getting through customs. Stopped at the duty free
liquor store and picked up a bottle of Johnny Walker for $14... bren-
dan was at the airport (whew!) and he had a nice warm Imperial (lo-
cal beer that tastes like Miller, mmmmm) He had a taxi and we headed
off towards the hostel. Brendan is still crazy, he now has an accent
that sounds Jamacian.. it fits him well. He had Melissa with him, whom i
believe is a “friend” of his.. we came back to the hostel and i got a
bunk for three nights ($9) per night which is pretty good in San Jose
it has a pool, free internet a big screen tv, hammocks etc. While i was
unpacking Brendaand met a kid from Germany (Michael) who came out
for beers.
We walked down the street and Brendan rolled up a joint. we stood
outside the bar and smoked. then when it was time to go into the
bar, i took a step off the sidewalk and fell about 4 feet down it had
nothing to do with the joint I swear it was a drain that had no cov-
er on it, i hvae no idea why i didn’t look i guess i’m just used to the
states So i scraped up my knee a bit and had i been normal height
would have smacked my bottom jar on the sidewalk it was that deep
all’s well though we went into the bar and drank it was a darkish type
bar kind of gothy but not really. they played a lot of depeche mode
and techno mixed gringo music. it was really loud so after a few beers
we went to the next bar...
