I met up with a couple of Costa Ricans, Mario (center) and Andrés (right) and they're teaching me all sorts of tico slang. Mario is a 20 year old theatre major and a call center employee who speaks English, French, Spanish, and Portuguese. Andrés is studying massage therapy and is really good at juggling; he's going to work with a group of contact jugglers who get sponsored to juggle big signs with advertisements on them. They're both vegetarian, and they live together in Heredia, a city just outside San Juan. I just cannot get over the kinds of colorful characters you meet while backpacking.
