FTP done... bring on the trip.

Well, we're done with the trip prep whirlwind. Things went more or less smoothly. I actually got some riding in, which is rare on an FTP. I did some reading. Also rare. There's nothing really that we already know we have to change before trip number two. Also rare. Things are good.

We spent the last three nights in Samara, which is near where our final hotel for the trip is, and where we essentially spend the entire full day of the trip. We spent enough time there that I'm pretty comfortable with the town. It's cool to be in Costa Rica to do a trip and know what I'm talking about. As opposed to last year, when if a guest had a question, my response was, "I don't know. Ask Monica or Zack. Is there anything I can carry or fix for you???"

We returned to Alajuela today (actually Barrio San Jose, an even smaller town outside of Alajuela, which is outside of San Jose, the capital of Costa Rica).


Costa Rica so far has been good. I've gotten some sun, which always makes me a happy camper. I've gotten to do some reading. A lot of reading actually. I've already ready two books since being here, small books, but books nonetheless. I'm definitely ready for the trips to start. It's been a lot of buildup, a lot of buildup, a lot of buildup and now it's just time to get this ship rolling.

Hasta Luego!
