I haven't celebrated my birthday on American soil for the past 4 years. First it was Thailand, then Slovakia. and now Costa Rica. The big difference this year is that I was working the whole time with a bottle of Flor de Cana rum in my hand:
Yeah. This is my job and I love it! Come down here and be a part of it. I will unabashedly say that while the rest of Costa Rica is known for its nature and ecotourism, San Jose itself is as much Sin City as Las Vegas, Nevada. So its the perfect fit for me. I'll get you a place to stay for the night, serve you a drink, then take you out for a pub crawl on 'Calle de La Amargura' for the night.
Calle de La Amargura is only 400 meters from the hostel, so that's where I wrapped up my birthday night. You should too. On this night, one girl just isn't enough for me. Its a good thing this gringo can speak Spanish so damn well...
We had a reservation for our favorite dive bar, Eric's Copas. This bar wins the "Gringo Award" because the music is low enough to have an actual conversation. Most Costa Rican bars have the music cranked so loud you can't hear yourself think. This is OK when the place is packed, but it makes no sense (at least to gringos) to have the music up when there's only 5 people inside. After the pub crawl the night only got better.
Did I mention its not my real birthday?
Tuesday still awaits...
