Well, we made it all the way to Puerto Viejo on Sunday.  I landed around noon and we were able to catch the 2:00 bus.  We got here fine, but then of course being a Sunday, every room in town was completely booked, so we had to stay at Rocking J’s (the hammock hotel).  Evidently the rainy season got here a couple weeks ago, so I’m not sure what this is going to mean for the construction project, but we’ll be heading up to the river in about an hour and we’ll know more then.  The material transportation is supposed to begin today.  I don’t have any photos now, nor do I have much to tell, but I’ll know more when we get to Suretka, and I will get back to you all as soon as I can.  Perhaps tonight, perhaps tomorrow, but no later than Friday.  Adios!
