Nicaragua / Costa Rica

Hola,

Just down in little ol' Costa Rica, doing a bit of work and a little fun.  Tomorrow: surf excursion, and planning the next stop after our lodging fell through ("overrun by a third party." Doesn't sound like a fun party).  But, here's a few highlights from the trip so far - only day 4 of 18.

Camper Bike

After completing the first leg of my cross-country road-trip, as well as spending an afternoon people-watching in the Mall of America, it was nice to come across this eco-groovy travel alternative:

This camper bike is an idea from Kevin Cyr, a prototype and also the basis for some paintings.  He's also working on a camping cart - a shopping cart with a pop up tent.  There are some more pictures on his website, but no images of the interior.  Definitely a far cry from my parents' awesome Airstream, nonetheless it looks like a fun way to get around, as long as you don't mind sweating a bit in the process.
