I arrived in Costa Rica today at 7:00 Costa Rican time, 9:00 Florida time :) I made my first mistake at immigration when the employee said "hola" and I responded with "hi". Rookie mistake I guess.  We stayed at Casa Yoses, which is a hostel in San Jose.  There were a lot of backpackers and party-ers carrying around wine and rum. Entertaining.  There was free internet, free breakfast, and you could rent towels and stuff, all for $7 a night. I thought that was interesting.  The sun rises at like 4 am here, so I was up early to take a super cold shower. Good news though, Costa Rica has coca-cola AND burger king. Success.
