Costa Rica Bound

               Nice girl working for Tica Bus

                   

It was time to take the famous bus I heard about in  Central America “Tica Bus.” If you ever need a bus, this is the tourist bus that will take you all over. Traveling in three countries, I heard about this bus, but never really saw it. I was just happy on the local buses with the locals. 

This was going to be quite the journey all the way to Panama City. A total of 17 hours split in between two days. I thought about flying, but that would be $200 more than the bus so that was my answer for that.  There were many tourists on this bus and it was a common route-the only route through Costa Rica went directly to Panama City. There were some French, some Americans, Venezuelan, American, and of course Costa Rican.

Just waiting for the bus, I was making some new friends with a couple local Costa Rican guys and an American guy who has a home in Costa Rica. He hasn't returned to the USA in 5 years, which is something I wouldn't mind either. Buying a house abroad for 1/3 the price of a house in the states-great idea! Vamos!
