Wheel Adventures: Homestay delights but insects a fright in Costa Rica - best toothbrush in the world

To welcome the ride through Central America, I bought a few barrels of elite shows for $125 --
In my local health food store, enhance the powder from the dirty hippies. No, not heroin.
It's not his life!
No, look, my God, okay, this expensive electrolyte material is completely legal according to the label.
I swear it's not what I did-
Already: to get a bigger absorption, microparticles!
Ferment to get higher purity!
Instantiate for greater solubility!
I think I paid the money out soon because I was interested in the possibility of finally beating my tropical bike nemesis (Heat exhaustion)
And may also be confused by how arrogant we become when we create new verbs (
It turns out that "micro" and "Instancing" are real languages, and now we live in the world of Trump, nothing is left).
The bathtub takes up a lot of space in my backpack, but I don't resent the space and hope I can ride as healthy as I am.
Like our adventures around the world, this trip begins with hope.
Hope I don't crash on the side of the road in a skeptical David.
Puddles formed by stench and exhaustion.
Hopefully no one will bring the camera when this happens again.
Hopefully I will read the label more carefully next time in case this thing is treated as a suppository.
Over the next two nights we will be sharing the home of a local family, although when I say "local" I am not trying to convey a specific area like a map reference.
I don't know where we are. no one seems to care.
We're somewhere in the north.
Brother, 50 km (100? a million? )
It is located east of the volcano of lafutoona and Arenal.
The dirt road that brought us here was neither signed nor numbered, and no one could tell me exactly where we were on the map.
My question seems to make the Spaniards happy.
We live together with only talking families;
We're here, silly. at home.
The family is lovely.
La seina Patricia made us feel very welcome because she hosted a steady stream of neighbors, mostly large families, with her own cattle farm and sugar cane nearby. Her pre-
Teenage daughter, who knows a little English from school and chats in the animation streamof-
With the conscious Spanish narrative of many Hispanic arms
Waving and laughing.
Obviously, she committed suicide and made us laugh.
El Senio Giovanni is a quiet, serious man, a farmer and principal of a nearby primary school.
I like him because he is very happy with his daughter.
Especially the young one, looking at me with a naughty smile from behind her mother's skirt.
She reminds me of my own daughter, who has grown up now, and I love her and miss her every day.
Being a guest of someone's home has many advantages over staying in a hostel or hotel.
You see real life up close and share the food and furniture, rules and conventions, plans and chaos of the family.
There are also challenges, such as inappropriate hooks --
Bathroom plumbing; the 3:30 a. m.
Because the cock is an unbearable selfish jerk. and the three-inch-
In broad daylight, long cockroaches buzzing on the kitchen floor.
The last one was found by my wife while watching La seina Patricia grind corn to make tortillas.
A petite woman who doesn't like giant bacteria very much.
My wife, with insects, has been following a simple rule: there are no bugs at home.
But it's not our house. it's wide.
Open windows and doorways, and large holes in the walls of half teak
The round is not aligned, making it difficult for such a rule to execute.
In fact, the house is on the edge of the bug.
It's impossible to hang out in the jungle.
The idea of annoying bugs in the house was thrown out of my mind for the time being and replaced by the song of "Feliz cumplea OS" and the back slapping and shouting! ” Huzzah!
No matter where we are, the bike group will give me a cake in the middle and come with "Happy Birthday davixito!
Sugar Cream in blue.
Everyone, including some neighbors and relatives, shares the cake.
All except our driver Antonio, who was nervous and unreliable, went missing again.
We thought he had parked his van down the hill because its battery was dead and it needed to be rolled up every morning.
The only reliable thing for Antonio is his disappearance.
That night, when my wife had to remove a particularly large hairy bug from her toothbrush, I remembered the nasty bug --up bathroom.
I heard screams and I knew it was going to be a long night.
As it happens, the night becomes longer because when there are insects in the house, there are also geckos in the house.
I usually like gecko very much.
I found them very cute and very helpful in their charactersà-
I ate the nasty bugs.
But . . . . . . The little reptiles in our bed are looking forward to the delicious cockroach town tonight --
This is not a local gecko.
Instead, we are listening to the mating cries of intruders from Southeast Asia and a dangerous pest, the common Asian house gecko.
Not only did they go out
They also carry a virus that is especially toxic to humans.
Don't write too thin on it, but did I mention they were stringing around the wall on our bed?
In the end, after the terrible night of the gecko, the dawn came, although long after the terrible morning of the Rooster.
The Port of Latara Manka is a big name for a small town on the coast of Costa Rica.
Just north of the Panama border, this is an eclectic combination of surfers --and eco-
Build a tour behind fishing and jungle-
Clearing agriculture.
The town was originally referred to as the "old port" until the government launched a positive plan to dismantle African-American residents.
Caribbean English
Talk about culture.
You can still hear strange words in English, mainly "Dope "?
The big black man who wanted to sell US marijuana shouted.
Lovely.
Obviously they didn't know we were from Colombia, UK or they would have asked us to sell them drugs.
Port taramanka is a great place to look for baking soda (family-run restaurant)
On the beach, wash a plate of fresh fish and Gello Pinto with Imperial beer.
Alas, I don't do all these good things.
Instead, I stared up at the wires on the street and couldn't move.
20 feet high in the air, there is a very big and terrible spider with a bigger net than my wife's.
This is a Golden Silk Ball.
Weaver is part of the impressive spider family found in warm places around the world, such as Australia, Central America, and your panties.
If you're still reading, the monster sits quietly in the death center of the gold net of the same name, waiting for the timing, most likely considering my death.
Its Golden, slender legs point inward to a green body with spots and racing stripes.
In the tropical sun, the shining horror sparkles like the demon's gem.
It's bigger than my whole hand.
At such moments my poet usually tends to William Black: What immortal hands or eyes can make up your terrible symmetry?
But what really comes to my mind is: "You are never more than a metre away from a spider, your entire life.
"This disturbing bon mot is from my friend Simon Pollard, former Canterbury Museum and New Zealand
An outstanding spider biologist
As a scientist, as a spider Wrangler
I swear I didn't make it up.
For big Hollywood movies like Jurassic Park, he travels around the world to shoot, research and (gulp)
Collect terrible spiders, so he should know.
Simon conveyed the route with a malicious smile, and he was well aware of the immediate and frustrating reaction it had on both sides of the Pacific:
The body is itchy, crazy, paranoid.
Nevertheless, this is a verifiable
If you really want
Fact: Spiders of all shapes and sizes are everywhere on Earth, not just the academic "it's getting cold, so I don't need to worry about it" way hard science.
In fact, more than 37,000 spiders share our homes, businesses and lives;
They are always nearby. alarmingly so —day and night.
Some people may be watching you read this article.
Yes, they want to kill you.
I'm 6 feet two and weigh 240 pounds.
This makes me about 10,000 times larger than the inhabitants of this nightmare Kingdom.
Nevertheless, we are not used to such big bugs.
Just seeing it, hanging there, apparently dangerous for passing birds and small planes is enough to give me a box of screaming fans.
Of course, the Golden Silk Ball
Weaver is just one of many creepy reptiles unique to Central America, not as deadly as it is saidde-lance. Or the eye-
American crocodile or poisonous lash snake, coral snakedart frog. Wee (and not-so-wee)
Beasties are something you have to deal with when you travel to warm, sometimes scary places.
When I thought about it all, a guy who looked more Bob Marley than Bob Marley stopped and patted me on the shoulder.
"No hay problem!
She's not eating your spider, man.
He smiled and asked me if I wanted drugs.
As far as I'm concerned, I found a quiet soda, ordered myself a glass of Empire beer and anything on the lunch menu, and tried to think about the soft, playful kitten.
I will check under the table before I sit down.
Next week: Sovka let the chocolate go from scratch and avoid the outrageous frog of the dark arrow. The first phase can be found here. Costa Rica has 220 reptiles, • There are 20,000 spiders and 34,000 insects in the country, and the literacy rate is
