When I was in Costa Rica there were two traveling instances that have stuck with me. <br /><br />One, we were in a teeny tiny plane that realistically shouldn't have had more than 8 people. Instead, they crammed about 25 people (with luggage) on there. I was sitting on the floor, wondering if I was going to crash into a mountain somewhere. But, Costa Rica is gorgeous, so at least there's that.<br /><br />Two, we were on a bus to Volcan Arenal, and on the way, we came to a wooden bridge (modern roads aren't common in Latin America) spanning a very large and deep gorge. I was iffy about the bridge's ability to hold a commuter bus's weight, but I nearly had a heart attack when the bus driver STOPPED the bus on the bridge, got out, and MOVED planks of wood over the right side of the road so we could drive over them. I was even more appalled at the lack of concern by everyone else on the bus.<br /><br />I guess when you live on the edge day to day, the threat of plummeting to your death isn't really worth the worry.Jen Stayrookhttp://www.jenstayrook.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6051602384535005789.post-89611456877371404952011-05-11T14:29:07.812-04:002011-05-11T14:29:07.812-04:00Oh, I like your new location!

Not pony-like by any stretch of my imagination. <br /><br />Candyland -- Go for it! <br /><br />Trisha -- Maybe you better see the circumstances under which Ciel and the Mini Cooper come together before you start getting too jealous of her. ;) <br /><br />Michelle -- It is indeed a manure spreader.
