Day 56, border crossing into Costa Rica

Crossed the border from Panama to Costa Rica today. Got propane/butane from the distributer. Turns out very few places fill bottles for motorhomes/campers. Two locations we could find in Panama and one in Costa Rica. All others are trade the bottles. So we got propane and headed for the border. Took maybe 30 minutes and we were out of Panama. Costa Rica took longer, but again that was because of Molly. She was our only expense, and cost $15 to get her back into Costa Rica. Our car permits went fast as our permits were just re opened. We now are back at Dominical, Costa Rica. Tomorrow we will get Jerrys pickup oil changed and head for Canas, Costa Rica. No internet for a few days. Should cross into Nicaragua day after that. Carol
Everybody is happy to see us return to some of our usual camping spots. One thing for sure has been trying to find campgrounds and some places will allow to stay but we have to dry camp. Seems most tourist are backpackers traveling on public transportation. People are amazed that we are self-contained and actually can live in our small abode. Although, at times, we just don't seem to have enough room for 2 people. Ermila
