Love the rain on a tin roof reference Matto. Makes me think back to the years at 1968 W Foster when Benny the Mangler had a white noise track on his ipod titled “rain on a tin roof”. Used to put me in a deep sleep every night. Miss you dudeman.

Hi Matthew, we love keeping up with you on your journey. You are amazing. Sorry to hear about your camera. We hope it is repairable.

Right now we are enjoying the company of your parents as they came to visit for a couple of days. What fun we are having just being together. We so wish they could stay longer, but are grateful for the time we’ve had.

Blessings on you. Stay safe.
Keith and Edie

Matt, glad to see you’re on the road again. Four countries since Mexico. Wow. Sounds like Costa Rica is more welcoming. We are still amazed at your perseverance. Your folks will be with us for a couple of days next week. Will be glad to see them. Today is Mother’s Day, a great reminder how lucky we are to have had outstanding mothers. Take care. Dan

Great to hear you made it to another country. I hear northern Costa Rica is gorgeous so I hope you love it. I know the feeling of getting ripped off. It’s not about the money (especially for a few bucks), it’s just annoying. Hope you’re well, man.

Hi Matt-
You will have enough adventures to write a book when you are finished. Will you get to go anywhere near Tortuguera on the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica. It is a fascinating place.

Matt,
I’m glad to hear that you are doing well and that you are still on your adventure! For the first time in your journey I know what you’re talking about as I was in Nicaragua and Costa Rica last summer. I even stayed at the same hostel on the island.

Hey Mattnews!! What an adventure to be sure! I can totally relate to “hate being ripped off” or “taken advantage of”. Drives me nuts! How about when you give some one a limosna and they look at you and say, “Is that all?” Hang in there! Bike on! Love, Sue for all four
