Aqua Lounge, Bocas Del Toro

http://www.bocasaqualounge.com/hostel.htm

This is where I am currently staying. I have become known as hammok dude.
I love the fact that I can lay in a hammok in a night club. Very nice way to watch the ladies. This Hostel is only accessible by a boat ride that costs 1 dollar each way.

Bocas Del Toro, Panama

I arrived here this morning. I was lucky enough to find a riding partner in Puerto Viejo. We had quite an adventure crossing the bridge into Panama. My partner´s bike is a giant 1100 BMW. Half way across the bridge traffic started coming from the other direction. He was unable to turn his big bike around. It caused quite a traffic jam. Eventually the locals helped him get it turned and we were allowed by the Police to take a new bridge under construction.

I miss Sonia already. She really got under my skin. She is moving back to the Canary Islands. So0 it is unlikely I will see much of her again. But I really do care about her and think she is quite unique and special. Although her ADD would drive most people batty. It has a calming effect on me. Makes me seem like I am totally chill.

The Rocking J´s Muse is at 52 and 59 seconds.

Rockin J´s Tent and Hammok Hostel

This is Rockin J himself!

Still in Puerto Viejo at Rocking J´s. Arrrgh!!!!! The Vortex has me.

Trying again for Panama tomorrow. Still hanging around the muse.

Stuck at Rockin J´s AGAIN.

I haven´t made it out of the hammock for 3 days str8 now. Planning on Panama tomorrow. I have a very long story about getting extorted by the police twice on my way here. And it rained on me for 4 hours. Quite a ride. The muse is still here. And I kind of like her more and more everyday. She´s funny and quite beautiful.

Just letting you all know I am still alive. Later.

Going to Panama in half an hour

This is the next step of my journey. It will be a 6 hour bike ride to the border. Later.

Painting the Wunderbar at El Castillo, Playa Buena Vista, Costa Rica

So while I wait for Easter to pass before heading to Panama. I had to find something to do. So I used the paints that she gave me and painted a little mural things on the bar. Here's a little compilation of the work. You get the idea... it was fun.

Well never make plans in Costa Rica

I have not made it to Panama due to some unforeseen circumstances. Will post more when I head out.

Going to Panama

I have found out about some flying opportunities in Panama. I will be leaving for bocas del toro on Tuesday. Back through Puerto Viejo. Yippie!

Life at El Castillo

So I have come back to El Castillo. I have been here for 3 weeks. I am required at this point to apply for a VISA and a work permit. This actually might be something good in my favor. If I stay here for 2 years I will receive permanent residency. Something I might should do anyhow. Since most people it costs about 10 thousand dollars and proof of 2k a month in order to live here. We'll see how it goes. In the mean time I have been making art. Playing with music recording and hanging out with Ben the GIANT baby. Things are good if you don't count making money on that list. But it will come. RIght? LOL. Anyhow, when I think about what is the meaning of home. This is home for me. I really love the simplicity of Costa Rica life. And being in the Pacific Ocean almost everyday really makes me happy.

A Friend from Jiminez writes.

He's been on his own journey and shared some of his fears and hopes with me. We really connected almost instantly. Similar stories. Similar pains. Apparently after Jiminez he went a back packing some more on the East Coast. The guy with the hat in the Kayak is Pat. He showed me around town and acted as drinking buddy/wingman. Bill is the one in the do-rag. Go Bill! The photo of me on the bike is me leaving for Puerto Viejo. Through the Paso Real. WoW! Motorcycle heaven.

To fly or not to fly? That is the Question.

Duh? Stupid question. It becomes more and more apparent to me that there is no other solution but to move in the direction of flight regardless of pain or financial suffering. I need flying in my life as much as possible. And by this I mean Ultralight airplanes. The joy it brings me is unsurpassed.

What's up B?

Hope all is well in your part of the world. Keep in touch.
