Adrian's Intentional Camping Adventure

So, for my last two nights in Costa Rica I slept in a hammock. But this time (as opposed to last time) it was on purpose! They have these huge open areas with rows upon rows of hammocks. Normally it's really cheap ($6/night), but J has a good grasp of economics, and since demand is increasing this week due to Semana Santa (as mentioned in my last post) he jacked the prices up 70%! Well played, J. Ya bastard.

So anyways, sleeping in a hammock has been fun. Seeing as I nap in them all the time, it wasn't much of a stretch to spend the whole night. The only problem is mosquitoes. However, this time I had a blanket to cover myself with, much better than the two blankets I used last time.

Of all the locations to sleep at Rockin' J's, the hammocks weren't the coolest, though. They also have a tree-house (well, that's what they call it - it's really just a tree on stilts) with its own fridge, tv, and water cannon! However, it cost 4 times the price of the hammock, so I decided to skip it. If it was actually in a tree I definitely would have considered it.

Anyways, that's all for now. Time to go out and explore Panama!
