May 15- Liberia, Costa Rica

And it begins again! I left Calgary on the 15th after a lovely afternoon with mom and brother. I had 3 different transfers to make on the way to Liberia in Phoenix, LA and San Salvador. The last flight to Liberia was really nice as it was a small airplane with a max capacity of about 50 people, and there were only 7 people on the flight. It also flew fairly low so I was able to check out the landscape below. After 19 hours of airplanes and airports I finally arrived in Liberia! I took a cab into town which I was relieved to discover had meters (so the drivers can't totally rip you off) and found a hostel that had private rooms. I basically spent the day wandering Liberia for about an hour (it's not very big) and sleeping the rest of the afternoon and evening. I woke up a few times enough to plan where to go the next day. The next morning I checked out and headed to the bus stop for Playa del Coco which to my surprise cost me a little over a dollar for an hour long bus ride!
