Day 39, Hostel to Canas, Costa Rica


Volcanos in distance on way to Canas. We drove to Jojoba Beach which was very beautiful. There was only a few people on the playa. The sand was white and beach very inviting. Prior to arriving at this point we passed the Jojoba Police Station and we were stopped. The police very kindly asked me if we were smokers since they've had fires in the past. He kindly asked if we participated in drug use. I said of course not but we do like our beer. He stated then he wouldn't mind joining us on the beach since that's his favorite drink. Costa Rica does not have a military presence but the federal, state and municipal police are very alert to surroundings and transporting of illicit drugs from the southern countries to the northern countries. We told him we didn't mind his searching our vehilces since we had nothing to hide. He was very pleasant and told us to enjoy ourselves and he hoped we enjoyed all of Costa Rica because it's a beautiful country. Ermila
