The Costa with the Mosta

Seattle, WA

I think I have a problem. Maybe its time for an intervention or perhaps I should join a support group or something. Hi...my name's Mike...and I like to go places.

But this time it's not my fault. I swear. Seriously. All I planned to do this Spring Break was relax in Oly, maybe pop up to Seattle a couple of times, but really just chill, drink a few beers and do other what-nots. But, when a few weeks ago my mom asked me if I wanted to go to Nicaragua to help her look for property, I obviously said yes, because that's the kind of guy I am. I'm a team player... a family man at heart.

She ended up buying tickets to San Jose, Costa Rica rather than Managua, Nicaragua because it was cheaper and since the property that she wanted to look at was in the very south of Nicaragua, it was just as close. So, I didn't even think about this trip at all. I've been busy with school, you know finals and all of that. I've been letting my mom plan and plan to her little heart's content. Until I got a phone call a couple of days ago when she told me that she decided not to go. Huh? It turns out that we were scheduled to go during Semana de Santa (Easter week) and the beaches were going to be packed with partying locals. Then she asked me if I still wanted to go by myself. Partying locals, I thought to myself, hmmm...yep, I think that I can struggle through it.

So, manana morning, I'm off to Costa Rica. I've decided to stay there, since I've seen more of Nicaragua than I have of Costa Rica. I'll be back on the 30th, so you can expect a few emails over the course of the next couple of weeks. I hope the rest of you enjoy your time off or if you have to work, I feel for ya'. Peace, moe
