SAILORS TRAVELLING BY BUS

TICA BUS, owned by Costa Rica is an excellent means of long distance transportation in Central America; from Mexico all the way to Panama, the route uses #1 Highway.  Some of us know that highway starts in Lund, BC as Highway #101 and ends at the Panama Canal.  They feed you and even offer a discount to stay at their hotels. It We have bought our return tickets to San Jose, Costa Rica leaving here this friday, to travel to San Salvador City and  reserved a room at Hotel Meson de Marie in  Colonia San Bonito  $32.00  USD for a double room with bath and TV and a wake up call , as we leave at 2:00 am Saturday morning  December 10th, 2011.  My day trip to the big city yesterday was successful in many ways, but most importantly, I confirmed all of this.  You,may ask what is the concern???  Well, here in the Americas all is not always as it appears!

FIRST WEEK OF DECEMBER HAD TWO SUNDAYS IN IT!!!

Must be getting the hang of this sailing life : got up the yesterday day certain that is was Sunday.  Slept in, loafed about reading and drinking coffee...........even made the traditional Pancake Breakie.  Thought we would take a walk later in the afternoon and wondered why it was so busy what with all the panga boats going out to fish, even Sam and the boys were working on the next boat over.  Different for a sunday!!! Got over to beach with the dingy and walking over to Santos Marine with Claes making funny comments about working Sunday.............must be pretty busy guys!!  They both turned to us and said  "We always work Saturday."  Both Claes and I burst out laughing leaving them both definitely thinking that we were pretty loco!!!!!    We continue on our walk excited that we had gained a day and pleased with ourselves that we were really beginning to get the hand of this relaxing thing. I am off to the big cit...
