What a great post. I am heading to Costa Rica in March for a couple of months. I will be staying at Lake Arenal. I already spent about 6 months there a few years ago. But I know what you mean about it being very touristy and filled with expats. I am interested in traveling to El Salvador at the end of my time in Costa Rica. I'd love to know more about it. Getting out of the US is my goal but not too far away by plane from my kids and grandkids in California. I look forward to making my experiences part of my writing. khmezek@gmail.com
I've never come across that Dickens quote before - love it. Have been meaning to write a post collecting all my favourite quotes about travel on there and will have to include that one when I (eventually) do.
That tree mouse reminds me of these huge rats that ran around the roof beams of a hostel I stayed at once in Kampala. I remember trying to sleep wondering if the mosquito net would keep them out if they decided to drop down from the ceiling!
Really enjoyed reading this, glad it all worked out in the end!
