Right now i dont have the time or energy to begin the next part of my saga, but i thought id share my holiday experience. A day or two after my last post, the hostel i was staying at decided to jack up their rates for the holidays and didnt grandfather in existing guests. on top of that, they turned out to be fairly strict about check in and check out policies among other things. with my rate deadline coming up and fifteen minutes before i had to let them know if i was staying another night, i made a split second decision to ditch san juan and their tyrannical ways and head back to san jose. i quickly packed my things and headed out with a couple i had met that were also leaving. 11 horrific hours of border cross, taxi, bus and hoofing it later, i arrived at the very familiar hostel galileo where i was greeted with excitement, hugs, and a little dog. It was actually a great feeling to be back and it seemed like my homecomming was equally anticipated. a few days later it was xmas. xmas eve was spent with the hostel owners, workers, and a few guests consuming many appetizer dishes and drinking wine (a treat here) and a bottle of rum that somebody gave us which seems to always make me very sleepy.
the next morning was xmas morning. the hostel put together little gifts for all of its guests which was really nice. once everybody was awake, we hit the tree with yuletide joy and opened gifts. the rest of the day was spent perusing the cable for festive movies but no luck was had. a relaxing day all together. following this are some xmas pics along with a few santa gems to tide you over until more travel adventure is written about. happy holidays!
