Since Chip K reported on his trip to Bermuda, I figured I'd chime in
about my trip to Costa Rica. The two places are similar in one respect
- NO TRIUMPHS. I looked for any British cars and except for new Land
Rovers, the only British car I saw during a 6-day stay was a very beat
Mini Cooper panel truck hauling vegetables through downtown San
Jose.
Costa Rica is full of the twistiest, windiest mountain roads you
have
ever seen, but there are drawbacks - they are not very well maintained
(you spend LOTS of time dodging potholes) and with even the slightest
bit of rain, they tend to wash out (ask me how I know - it's the rainy sea-
son there now - the new word I learned in Spanish was 'la rumba'
(mudslide)).
