Jay Asquith and his wife Tristin venture with their friend Gabriel into the jungle of Costa Rica. There they find one of natures finest treasures ...the Hollow Tree! An ancient tree was overgrown by another vine tree, then the original tree decomposed leaving a tunnel behind. Check it out and don't forget to SUBSCRIBE for more amazing journey's!
Jay packs in the first load of goods for his families new home in the mountains of Costa Rica. He stops in San Jose Central, checking out the local culture and scene, then ventures to the Mountains of Desamparados.
Traversing across San Jose I assist in filming a hip hop music video and encounter a break dancing cypher. I visit Zapote's farmers market finding new treasures and try to find a baby blanket for lil' Jerico who should be squirting out any day now. ;) On edge with anxiety my forehead drips with sweat. What the hell is going on at the end of this hallway? Approaching nearer, it sounds like a 'Rainbow Gathering' chant group, or something to that effect. Fan-freakin-tastic. Five of my hostel bunkies are gypsies.
One guy is sporting a dinky one string instrument that makes a ‘boingie’ noise as he slaps it. I’ll admit, this little Aboriginal Australian melody does have a nice ring to it... As I adjust my bed, my top bunks-man* (is that how you call it?) introduces himself. “Hey Mae, I’m Fernand,” we exchange names. “I’m in a hurry,” he says, “…on my way out to play open mic night. Do you want to go? I’ll get you in for free.”
After accepting an invitation to stay the night with a wonderful Tico family many years ago. I felt it cordial to return the hospitality by washing the dishes after our dinner. I thought it peculiar only one knob existed next to the kitchen faucet. Until that day, I’d never witnessed a home without hot water! The wheels in my dome began whirling as I postulated the ramifications… “Ohhh, No! The Shower?!” I wondered, "I bet a faucet is missing there too...” Moving into our little San Pedro efficiency apartment ten weeks ago has had its ups and downs... I’ll get straight to the point.
So, apparently these little bastards have come to believe we we can share the same living space. Upon first arrival to our humble abode I found four medium sized wasp nests, (12-30 wasps each) PLUS, a large hornet nest of around 70 hornets. Inherently, I’ve proclaimed War and invoked my genetic predisposition as a man to make MY territory MINE. After failing in my attempts to purchase aerosol wasp killers at the local hardware store, I took it upon myself to 'MacGyver’ remedies. I’m left perplexed and scalded. But I’ll get back to that. |
