Gentlemen, this is history. Allow me to present you the furthest-fetched GTG in PeachParts, EVER! I spent a week with forum member Juanesoto and had a BLAST in good company here in Costa Rica!

I wish .

At this time , I'm still driving my old Mercs far & wide Stateside . 800 miles week minimum .

My Grand Daughter was born Tuesday night so I'll be sticking close for now .

You'd prolly be displeased with the old cars & Moto parts I always find when traveling anyways~ I'd fill your sleeping area before you knew it .

When someone mentions Costa Rica to you, perhaps the first thing you think about are lush landscapes, beautiful scenery and paradise-like coastlines. Do you think I am going to write about these? WRONG! I have actually gone on a full-chapter delusion on how things have worked out in this magnificent little country. Read on and follow me on this PanAmerican scavenger hunt for awesome things beyond the typical!

It really was a pleasure spending some time with you Miguel! I certainly admire your quest and wish you the best of luck to finish it safely.

By the way, if any other forum member is coming to CR for vacation or so, please feel free to contact me. I will be more than happy to help you and provide you advise on things to do and places to stay at.

The inevitable crossing of the Darien Gap via Panama, in a short and sweet format. Not the most exciting thing in the world... but just wait what I have ready for you when I reach Venezuela.

this is great, I love getting a first hand feel for all these exotic places through you. Previously when I though Costa Rica, I thought Jurassic park. Now I know better

A recapitulation about the last few months from the start of the expedition, in 8-bit video game form. 50% complete, now let's go for the other 50%!

So the cutest women were in Costa Rica?

I'd like to see pics so I can make my own decision.
