More to come, but no wipe outs, sorry

sorry, saw one, but wasn't filming

is there more pictures? Please say there are more pictures....I don't want Linda to kick my ass:)!

Okay, so Leon has been removed from the beat-down list. Thanks for sharing those! Despite the fact that I am even more insanely jealous now, it was still nice to see those.

Now, what about the rest of you slackers?! Chuck, I think you're excused since you put in more than enough work planning everything, but that still leaves, what, like, 50 people?

Also, I don't think you can confuse me about where I've been.

This weekend, we drove 2 or 3 hours to get to the La Paz waterfall gardens. There was plenty to see along the way.

When we got there, there was all kinds of fun wildlife to look at, and (obviously) waterfalls.

Then we drove to Arenal Volcano. That night, we went to Tabacon hot springs, which is like a giant natural hot tub. I would have taken pictures of that, but rain + steam + giant natural hot tubs = bad for camera.

Some of us stayed overnight in a hostel in the city, La Fortuna. The next morning, I saw a flyer for motorcycle/scooter rental, and as much as that would not be anywhere near as cool as a moped, I figured it'd be better than nothing. Unfortunately, I couldn't find the place, I couldn't find any useful info about it, and nobody else wanted to go. I went ride-less, and it made me sad. Next time, screw everyone else. I'm determined to go riding, even if I have to settle for a lame fugly scooter.

After a 5-hour bus ride, we arrived back in the city. Then the whole group of us went to a gay bar that played deafeningly loud techno music. Then I dragged myself out of bed for a walking tour of the city at 9 am this morning. Funny, there are cows on parade in San Jose now too.

I can't say that I wish I hadn't been doing all that, because it was pretty awesome, but I definitely missed you guys and wished I could be there with you too. It's a shame I couldn't magically transport the whole rally down here. THEN it would have been perfect.

Scratch me off the beatdown list too linda, I can't hold a camera since i'm crippled. I've been playing that card all weekend long and it's been working thus far.

enjoy your stay.

mike

yeah, i had fun until you guys found the owner of the free spirit.

Great pics Linda, I guess if you couldn't be in KC, that would do..hope all the trip was great.

I have some pics too. I spent some of last night going throught them. I just need to get around to hosting them so everyone can see. Ill do it tonight or tomorrow.

It was probably my most favorite rally, but its my first so I guess I will have to go to some more of them. Hopefulyl next time I will have bought and fixed a different moped thats a little faster.

Well Alex if you would like to volunteer for some real jousting and can find a challenger, I will put it on the venue for next year, no prob. The size of the lot, the location, and surface dictated the "nobody gets killed" design and use of the quintain. It was still not without hazard:(

nice pics and vid....

first rally for me and it was such a good one too, everybody was awesome, im

digging the KC swagger.

Chuck, thank you so much for putting up with our drunk selfs.. you are amazing!!!

those potatoes you made for us, at like 3am, good golly, soooo gosh darn good!!!

definitely will return the favor when you make your way out to denver.

Yay! More pictures! I'm so happy! Now if only my computer wouldn't take 10 minutes to load them all....

Mike: Jousting. Next year. It's on.

I knit mail, too. thought about bringing it this trip.

It gets really hot in a hurry and leaves very unusual suntans.
