Seven-Dollar Room by the Sea

After returning from Nicaragua, I´ve come to Puerto Limon, a city on the Caribbean side, the capital of the province of Limon. This is about my third full day here and so far I´ve done absolutely nothing but wait in bank lines and hope that the next Chinese food restaurant I try will taste a bit different than the last. I found a hotel 25 m from the sea that is really quite a bargain since it is kept very cleanly, but there is no where to swim nearby. The water is too deep, the current and frothy waves are too strong, and the rocks are too many.

There are tourists from the cruise boats, but the only thing I can see that they could do is go shopping at a souvenir shop.

My room has a desk for once, so I´m trying to write a little today and maybe tomorrow, and then I´m heading for probably much more expensive lodgings in Cahuita or Puerto Viejo, where there are better beaches and also places to snorkel.
