Now I know the way!

Had a hot shower this morning for the first time in weeks. Invigorating! Whilst showering I noticed that someone had etched 'Sligo Rovers' into the wall. Better than 'Westlife' I guess... San Jose, Costa Rica is our current halting site. Not much to see apart from the local talent but there's a good buzz around and the people (Ticos) are very warm.
Our transition from South to Central America has been interesting to say the least. Roberto and Jorge (Captain Birdseye) the Spaniards and Leonardo the stereotypically dramatic Italian were our hosts for the nauseating two day boat ride from Cartagena to the San Blas islands. The islands were beautiful however and although we hadn't planned on it, spending a night with a random indigenous (Kuna) family and having the chance to live like they do was great. When we arrived one of the kids was running around with a Superman 'S' drawn on his stomach. Improvise! And so onto a boat to the mainland and a cosy jeep ride along a dirt track with ten adults and three kids all the way to Panama City. Of course it was never going to be as simple as that. The trip was interrupted by two hours spent chopping down branches in the lashing rain to help get the jeep across a mudpit. Unnecessarily wet, we arrived in Panama City looking like street urchins. All great fun though!
Rooney will be missed. Come on the Hammers.
