1999  Costa Rica

I spent two nights in San Jose, Costa Rica, and 8 days on the pacific side in Tabor, on the Nacoya Peninsula. There are plenty of casinos in the capital city of San Jose, but in Tambor, only at a few resorts.

Going for a ride. A local guy would fly his ultra-light onto the beach in the morning and give 20 minute rides for $50.00.
