Rainbow Mansion to Choza Overland

Annie, Spence and I will be on the road in less than three weeks. For a number of reasons, we have decided to take the Family/Rainbow Truck (a 1990 GMC Sierra pick-up truck) to the Choza as a second Choza car. Spence is still down in Argentina, but Annie and I had some time yesterday to brainstorm on the outside Rainbow Mansion white board.

Some Goals of the trip:

• Get to Costa Rica
• Have fun; enjoy the Journey
• Eat Delicious Food
• Scuba
• Indigenous Culture (markets, history, crafts, food, community
• Camp
• Transport tools to the Choza
• Surf

So far, we haven’t nailed down the major desitinations, but here is our current list

• Oaxaxa, Mexico
• Granada, Nicaragua

Also, we are looking for a place to stop for a few days for the following:

• Surf – Beginning level [most likely on the Pacific Coast of Mexico] 2-3 days
• Scuba – Get certified (Annie and Spence) + Advanced (Robbie) [most likely on the Caribbean in Honduras] 3-5 days

We are planning on leaving on May 2, and want to get to San Jose, Costa Rica by May 20. I am flying up from San Jose to New York to meet up with the SpaceGen crew for Andrew Hoppin’s wedding on May 21! Please let us know if you have any experience with the overland adventure or if you know of some good destinations to visit!
