Touchdown in San Jose, Costa Rica

Rain is pouring down outside but it's 70F rain, in December, which is nice.  I landed a few hours ago in San jose, Costa Rica and caught a taxi to a nice little hostel called Bekuo, no idea what that means.  Getting past the hoards of taxi drivers was easy as i pointed to the first one i saw and 20 minutes later i pulled right up to the place.  (incidentally the shift key for my left hand no longer works on this keyboard so you will notice a lack of uppercase letters in some instances.  i apologize to all you english teachers out there)  The taxi driver filled me in on the local economy, pointed out local landmarks, and was generally a very decent chap.
So i don't have much to report at this point. First impression is good, San jose doesn't look like much but it seems to be billed as a crossroads so we'll figure out where we're headed next and get out of here quick.  This hostel is clean, quiet and has wifi so me likey.
Due to ticketing constraints Angela will not join me until tomorrow so i will navigate the bus situation to meet her at the airport, should be fun.  off to sleep now.
