¡We love Puerto Jiminez!

Getting to this town was an adventure in itself. We took a very slow bus, feeling very nervous that we would miss our transfer. We were on time and wound up waiting for an hour at a crossroad of two highways, with nothing around but a restaurant, a gas station, and a stand where a woman was selling bean tamales (quite yummy.) We knew we were ok because other people were waiting. The bus took us on winding jungle roads, and we arrived at dinnertime. This town is amazing... very relaxed, and very pretty. It is on the shores of Golfa Dulce, one of the deepest gulfs in the world. Today while biking around town we saw scarlet macaws, caimans, a huge blue morph butterfly, a colony of nesting white ibises with cheeks, and more!! We are planning further adventures, and will update. Again, it is a comfortable and safe town with lots of infrastructure... pix will come!
