San Jose

Friday 11th October 1985

11.30am check in at Guate airport - La Aurora - and collect voucher for the night in a Bogota Hotel, La Presidentia. Promises to have many more stars than I am used to.

Half empty flight through the clouds to Costa Rica. Money situation: 1$ : 51.5 Colons.

Check in to Tika Linda at 533 2nd Avenue in cute little San Jose. Small sign on otherwise anonymous door, ring the bell and it silently swings open, released by a piece of string runs the length of the 30 foot corridor behind. Tiny rooms with hard board partitions. 75 C a night.

Post Restante. No mail. Misery.
