Happy New Year

Last night we went to a hotel recommended by Eric, Yling Ylang - who had a New Years Eve event. The food was amazing, and we were entertained by a hip local band who did covers of Gipsy Kings and a fire dancing troop (pics).

After ringing in the New Year by bonfire light on the beach looking at fireworks overhead, we meandered back into town and danced in the streets with some 500 other people - both tourists from all over the world and tourists from Costa Rica and some locals.
In San Jose tonight to catch an early flight out tomorrow to head home. Going to dinner tonight with a family friend, I will get a chance to post more tomorrow during plane lay overs, I might have ten hours in El Salvador to kill also which could be a good opportunity to check out downtown San Salvador tomorrow for a bit.
