DAY 19 COSTA RICA

We spent last night in Liberia, Costa Rica.  By far the nicest city in Central America we have stayed in.  We were able to take the road that stays close to the ocean, avoiding the inland rain and clouds.  Costa Rica is the cleanest country we have seen since leaving the US.

We rode into the little town of Palmar Norte and happened onto a guy from New York that has lived here for 12 years - he led us to a motel that was off the beaten (although the entire town is pretty much off the beated path) where we got a room for $30 US.

Those of you that have seen the Alaska part of this blog might think that I mistakenly posted a picture of Joe fixing his bike in Alaska - no, this is a fresh picture. Broken clutch cable - the good news is he had a replacement.

Tomorrow we cross the border into Panama - Yea!
