occultPassing by #NYC on my way to Costa Rica.
My first glimpse of #Cuba.
Arrived in #CostaRica. Looking forward to experiencing this area of the world for the first time.
I’ll be in #Tamarindo looking for a proper local cafe.
Came across a #CostaRica #Cat!
He followed me around a bit. I wanted to scoop him up. He did a big stretch and went his own way.
Started visiting various cafes around my area in #CostaRica. Nordico #Coffee Roasters was quite good, and I got the usual cortado, which was well crafted.They even offered a Geisha Coffee pour over which in the US tended to be one of the most expensive due to its low yield and narrow altitude it was grown in.
Geisha is super fruity, almost like a tea with coffee undertones. Floral and apple-citrusy flavors. Very interesting pour-over. If you can find #CostaRica Geisha somewhere I highly recommend it.
I’ve been stopping to admire the local flora and fauna. A wall of these flowers, all being visited by bees doing what bees do best.#CostaRica
If I’m going to be in #CostaRica, I might as well walk around in the rain on the beach and take in the views.
Spreading the gospel of #unix_surrealism far and wide around #CostaRica with @prahou’s stickers. Folks here spend a lot of time on the beach enjoying the company of their friends and family and don’t tend to talk to computers much, though it’s a reminder to the tourists I’ve spotted in cafes doing work on their laptops.#UNIX #FreeBSD #OpenBSD #NetBSD
Next on the list of cafes was Derecho Sagrado, which so far has been my favorite. The folks here were passionate about the coffee they were serving. They had multiple espresso beans available to offer, ready to go in their own grinders. I noticed they would dial the grind in often and cared about the craft. Excellent coffee and amazing atmosphere.
I am finding many #CostaRica #Cats and I’m better for it. I’m pspspspsps’ing my way through the area.
I am also doing some #MeshCore and #Meshtastic experimentation with my friends in #CostaRica, which allows for operating on 902-940 MHz 30 dBm max EIRP.
We are doing point-to-point between our houses easily and were able to hit miles away depending on obstacles.
I’ve put a Station G2 in a latex glove for some protection from the elements.
Cat please why won’t you love me as much as I love you. 😭🥹
