We managed to make it to meet up with some other people who were coming to the farm at a hotel in a suburb of San Jose. We were supposed to of arrived the night before so they were relieved that we made it. We got a nice breakfast and a ride to Puriscal to meet Joshua. It was a huge relief to be on our way after the crazy travel day before.
We met up with Joshua in Puriscal where we picked up some groceries for the farm. The town of Puriscal is a cool little town. It reminds me of a Latino version of Jerome, a town in Arizona. Small, scenic, and crumbling a bit. The trip to the farm was about an hour and a half on some rural dirt roads. The place is pretty secluded and in the middle of the jungle. It was a fun ride. When we got to the farm it took about 5 minutes before everyone was in the swimming pool. There's nothing like a nice cool pool in the warm tropical environment.
The farm is totally awesome! The house is sweet, there's a garden, a couple of streams/rivers, and lots to see and do. There are several projects going on and we've been spending the first few days doing miscellaneous work around the place, chilling out, walking, and getting to know the people here. It's been great and I think we could get used to living in a tropical paradise.
