Last Friday, a couple of us journeyed to Playa Jaco, which is a beach on the Pacific side of the Costa Rican coast. We woke up at 5:30am to get a taxi at 6:00am to get to the coca cola factory at 6:30am to buy a ticket for the 7:00am bus that took two and a half hours to get to Playa Jaco at 9:30am, where we had to wait another hour for the rest of our group to arrive at 10:30am because they missed the first bus. All in all, it was a good trip. We passed through breath-taking scenery on nausea-inducing roads till we finally arrived at the beach, and thank god it wasn't rainy. We stayed there for a couple of hours, in which I somehow got sunburned only on the upper left side of my back. Framing the red patch of my skin, you can still see the white fingermarks from where I did put sunscreen on my skin. Oops. Another oops is that we accidentally drank tap water with our dinner, which turned out to be non-potable, meaning that if I suddenly go into the fetal position due to intense diarrhea cramps, I'll never drink tap water again without asking if it's been filtered 57 different times 54 different ways.
