San Jose General Reports

[Dodger Bulldog]

I hear you Bulldog. Did you ever see her again?

No, it was my last day there.

But we are emailing, and we added each other as friends on our Hi5 pages. She posted some of the photos I took of her on there, including the one of her in the Dodger t-shirt.

So we'll have to see if anything more comes of it.

[Buster Lovedog]

I hear you Bulldog. Did you ever see her again? Some of these girls are like poison. Wonderful - but that's the poison.

That kind of thing has happened to me more than once.

Isn't there some way we can make this reality instead of the fantasy actresses they are?

I recant all previous testimony. Stay away from the Hotel Del Rey and that demon Blue Marlin Lounge.

For my report on my final chica CR, I have only a sad tale to tell. One filled with of grief and woe.

I am such a stupid.

I ended up catching a bad case of one-itis. At my advanced age I should know better, as it can be very debilitating. Nonetheless, once I had hooked up with Maria I just couldn't get enough of her.

Over the next couple days she drained everything I had right out of me - my money, my semen, and all my common sense.

The first time she came home with me she was enamored with the regalos I had brought for all the chicas. She stuffed everything that was left into her purse - a half dozen bottles of nail polish, several tubes of body glitter, the eyeliners, the perfumes, the toothbrushes, even all of the coloring books.

She doesn't even have any niños. What the hell was she going to do with the coloring books?

"See? I take these so you have nothing left to give to the others. Now you can be only with me."

I went down for the count without so much as a whimper. My eyes were glazed over. I had kind of a hypnotized zombie look on my face, drooling and nodding, mumbling my consent.

Clearly, I had entered the greatest danger zone known under the Monger Security Advisory System.

Current Threat Level: Red - Under Attack!

I have never been with a woman who is 6" tall before. Do you still call a woman a "spinner" when she stares down at you from on high?

Plus, she has the razor-sharp hips and the abdominal cavity of my dreams. (See the fifth and sixth photos below)

Maria is pretty naive for a 22 year old, but very trusting and coachable and willing to do anything I asked of her. After I taught her the power of the Pocket Rocket she became insatiable. (See smile on face in the seventh photo)

It was a raining outside, so we spent the day having some indoor fun together.

I set up an email account and a MySpace page for her so that we can keep in touch.

She showed me photos of her parents, her little brother, her sister and herself when they were little girls. She even gave me a photo from one of her modeling jobs. (See the one where she is standing in front of the volcano)

We listened to music and played hangman in Spanish. We taught each other some new words. We had a staring contest, held several "thumb wars," and tickled each other silly.

We played hide and seek. I enjoyed hiding all of my favorite things up her ass.

Then she had to go to her class. So I rested for two hours, with plans to meet her later for dinner.



Can this girl ever eat!

I never saw a such a slender young thing pack down so much food. It is like she never ate before she met me. And everything she wanted was expensive - shrimp, lobster, pastel de tres leches, Red Bull, etc.

And when we got back home, she wiped out all of the chocolates I brought to treat the chicas, and devoured a bag of Oreos that she scared up from a kitchen cabinet.

I guess I am the naive one, not her. She sure knew how to play me.

Can this girl ever sleep!

Twelve hours she slept. Fully twelve hours. So I spent the night with those long legs wrapped around me and my hands hanging onto those razor sharp hips for dear life. I kept my nose buried into her long, lean torso so that I could lick those adorable abs while Maria gently snored away.

And one more thing:

Can this girl ever fuck!

Okay, maybe you can understand that when my tongue was stuck up her ass how I could go brain dead and lose all touch with reality. I have a reasonable excuse for spacing off my flight back to the States.

I completely forgot which night I was supposed to leave.

But what about my buddy? He was just shit-faced on vodka. What good is a wingman if he can't even get you to the airport on the right day?

When we showed up on the next night the airline people just smiled, as they knew they had us by the balls. If you count what they dinged me for a new one-way ticket home, Maria turned out to be a very expensive chica indeed.

Mother's don't let your babies grow up to be mongers...

Maria is a true chameleon, a chica with many looks and faces, and I love every one of them. You can see more of them on the photo thread:

Soundz like a good lunch date to me Thanks for including your pics. Though it is hard to tell how they look like out of their clothes ... girl#...937 and girl#...939 look GOOD to me!

Thanks for sharing. Maybe I'll join you there next year.

. . .
One funny event occurred while the 3 of us stopped into the Del Rey for a late lunch on Monday. (Very good chicken sandwiches.) Probably around 3 PM. This was a slow time for the girls and we became the center of attention. As Ford put it, it was like moths around a porch light. The word got out and at one point there were at least 12 girls sitting around us watching us eat and waiting for us to finish. It is actually pretty disconcerting to look up after taking a bite of your sandwich and find a girl winking at you, smiling at you, waving or giving you some suggestive body language. It also feels pretty good.

As always the information on this board and PM’s from friends made the trip very easy. I am a big fan of the Del Rey and Key Largo complex. The other place we enjoyed during the day was Zona Blue. Nice relaxing setting, good cigars and a good line up. Both Tbird and I partook here and commented on the massages. These girls knew what they were doing and it was a great lead up to the sex.

Here are a few pics of some of the girls I was with.

[Almotu]

Personally, I have not been to SJO but your reporting give me hope. Medellin is not really cheaper (from the pricing you stated) so I am now thinking of finally checking out the infamous Del Rey and Blue Marlin.

I just wish you can make it easier to match your photos in the Gallley Section to your trip report.

Thanks for sharing.

[Almotu]

Your observations = CLASSIC . . . as usual!

Thanks for the kind words from my travel mates - Reg Trav and Tbird!

. . . On this trip I was amazed to find that at the Del Rey I wasn't even asked once for more than 50,000 colones ($100) Not even asked!

It absolutely cracked me up how many drunk (and sometimes not so drunk) Americans were having these long-winded engrossing conversations with Colombian working girls around the bar [in English] and the girls just nodded their heads, and contorted their faces into various expressions in unison with the tone of the words or in correlation to the corresponding expression on the guys face as he talked - but with absolutely no understanding with what was being said! (lol)

Ok so now it is Saturday, Last night was great, tons of chicas, ticas, and nicas. Late to bed and up early (damn noise) Had breakfast at the Key Largo everyday. Food was really good, lunch and dinner at the HDR via Key Largo. No bad experiences with the food.

Spent the day shopping and walking the town, no problems. The guy in the room next to me got robbed. He rented a car and they punctured his tire at a red light, then motioned him to turn in as his tire was flat. When he got out to look at the tire one of them grabbed his back pack from the car and they scooted. He said he saw it coming and still got taken. Be careful out there. The bums were also a little thick this trip begging for coins everytime you left the HDR.

Saturday evening. Not as many as last night. Still a great selection. I hooked up with good one at NF to get my pipes cleaned then headed back to HDR. My wingman now has a novia! The one from last night hooked up with him again gratis. He was done for the remainder of the trip. She was with him sat and sun night freebie! Lucky bastard. So I am hanging with $20 Bill and he reveals to me that he has hooked up todos la noche with his same girl everynight for (you guessed it) $20. Guess she needed a place to sleep while in town working and he needed good BBBJ's before he went to sleep every night. She was not a looker but the price was right, besides $20 Bill has low standards. There I am sitting and waiting for the next opportunity. In walks a colombiana with perfect boobs and a nice smile, round butt and a thin waist. I'm DONE FOR! She won't get off the $100 and won't negotiate for more time! No foto's either. After a drink I gotta have her, so I offer $60 for a BBBJ. She counters with $75. Buyer beware! (Adriana I tihnk) So I cave like a cheap tent and it is off to the Morazan. All cuddly and kissy. Until we got to the room. This girl couldn't suck milk through a straw! Worse BJ I have ever gotten in CR. And with the exception of one worse in the states it was the worse ever. Wound up nutting on her titties. There would be NO repeat business from me. I had such high hopes from everything I had read about colombianas and BBBJ.

So back I go to the HDR. It is now around 12:30 and the party is still going. Hello, Tatiana, tall, dark, great smile, big boobs, awesome butt and a great attitude. We had some drinks and some laughs and during our conversation I told her about my disappointment with colombian women. She then tells me that SHE is Colombiana and she can't have me thinking bad about woman from her country! $$$ standard deal for me. Off we go. This is a true woman, great curves, soft yet firm, fantastic boobs. Long long black hair, and large brown eyes. Well she put it on me like a coffee stain on a white shirt. WOW. While I have always been partial to Nicas tatiana has changed my mind. Killer BBBJ, she blew me from the knees to the tip, dipped me, and russianed me. It was fabuloso. Finished with a nut to the titties which I think is always a nice touch. After a coke and a smile she was back at me. GFE with an attitude! Smothered me, massaged me, and made love to me (or faked really good) had me finish doggie and begged for me to wait for her. Can't fake that amount of natural lube and it sent me to the point of no return. After a few recooperation minutes she pulled me into the shower and did me up. This was a 10 for sure!

Sunday arrives. I finally got a good nights sleep thanks to Tatiana. I get to HDR around 12, Rosa is sitting at the front bar looking all hot and bored. Now I usually go to NF to get my pipes cleaned in the morning so I am not hunting with a loaded gun so to speak. Well that went out the window. $60/no foto/1 hour. Off we go. A nice experience, good attitude, good sex. Very pretty. Lunch back at HDR. $20 Bill is complaining that I am getting all the HOT women and the good picks so he asks me to hook him up. I find a Colombiana, extremely fit, tall, great smile. I had been meaning to do her, but had not good timing with her, she has a home made tat on her right arm S. The. Very fresh look to her, fantastic boobs and FIT! So she take $20 Bill fro 75 fro the hour. He is gone two. Seems he blew early and for an extra 25 she stayed and did him again. He says it was his best! I believe himn as I am usually good at picking the right ones and she just had the LOOK of a winner. Sorry I missed out.

Off to NF for a quickie, my next will be my last here and I want a good one to send me on my way. 11:00 p. M. I am sitting with some guys in the front bar weighing the options of two chicas. Bam they are both scooped up before I make my move! Darn the luck. But this is the HDR ad redemption is only minutes away. Here comes the final act, Margie, colombiana, tight, firm, great boobs, big eyes and smile. I was afraid she might be a little chubby and the jeans are holding it all in. But when we get to the Morazan she reveals that not be the case. Hard body, you can crack walnuts on her ass. BBBJ was great. Then she postions herself in front of the mirror on all fours and tells me to fuck her good. I obliged.

So this is the end of my trip. Sorry if some of you are not having like results. As I stated earlier, and Spur agrees, that maybe some are posting bad reports to keep people away and keep this treasure to themselves. I say go forth and conquer!

Picks later

And what did I find? San Jose is alive and kicking with beautiful woman!

My friends and I arrived on Wednesday around 12:30. A quick taxi ride into the city ($22 for the van taxi) for all three of us. (never understood why people try and cheap their way into the city? )

Arrived at the Morazan (wingman made the reservations, damn him) and checked in. Richey the Main man in the lobby, VERY helpful with ANYTHING you need. He is on top of his game. The rooms were to say the least small. But mine was clean.

After a quick unpack it is off to the HDR. After reading many many posts I was afraid that the action here ahd changed since my last visit in 05'. I have read many many posts which trash the action here, the quality of the girls and the pricing through the ceiling.

We walked throught the doors of heaven only to be met by a J'Lo look alike! Absolutley beautiful! Shouldering my two wingmen aside I swooped in like a fighter ace to make the kill. Only to be smashed on the rocks of reality. $500 for 6 hours! Bruised and battered I made my way to the table for some liquid first aid. Was it true? Were we being priced out of the market?

Sitting at the back bar recovering from the attempted mugging I spy a bonita sitting by the window. A little conversation and out the door with her for $100. BBBJ. Dos Leches. Foto. Dos ahoras. Now I know some of you are rolling your eyes with me paying cien. But I look at it this way it is $50 per hour and I get what I want. This tica, Joanna, was fantastic! Total GFE. I had brought along some vibrators and she jumped at it. She is somewhat of a gusher. Or leaker maybe is a better word but definitley leche'the twice. So I was happy and she was happy. Busted two nuts, GFE, and fotos. Does it get better than this? . YES it does!

Back to the HDR after a shower I spot my wingmen sitting wide eyed and wanting. $20 Bill hooks up and out the door with someones Mom? I don't understand it but it is him not me. Friend #2 is ready to blow so he latched onto a mistake and out the door. So while they are gone I make the rounds and there is J'lo again. Not to be denied, I circle and go in for the kill. Now I just busted twice so I know I ahve at least one more in the chamber, and I could use a good massage so I go for the same deal I just had with Joanna. STRIKE 2! This chica is a tough nut to crack. No negotiating AT ALL! And to make matters worse. Another guy I know, veteran monger rich bastard, swoops in and pays her AND her friend and off they go. I am down but not out!

My friends return with similar results as mine. $$ and experience. Later inthe evening I went off to NF for a look see. They have remodeled since my last visit. Much cleaner this time. I hooked with a colombiana, Zully, great massage, BBBJ, and reverse cowboy finish. Nice ($40).

Back to HDR. The palce was packed with chicas, nicas and ticas. Beautiful, busty, leggy, HOT. Now there were some lower level girls (15%) and some very high end girls (10%) and the majority were solid 8's and up depending on your personal preferences. Hair, legs, boobs, ass, etc etc. But make NO mistake about it. These girls are smoking! If you can't nut here you might as well cash in your chips.

Day 2: I run into a fellow monger (SPUR) and we begin talking about the posts here and the possible conspiracy being perpetrated by members of this board. By post negative reports are some trying to drive people away? Reporting outlandish pricing demands by the ticas? The lack of quality chicas and nicas? WE are very suspect at the motives behind these bad reports.

After a late dinner it was off to bed. BED sucked. Traffic and noise all night, little sleep.

Me vs. J'lo III: This just does not go good for me. However I meet Giselle and all is forgotten. I go with my standard, if they ask for CIEN I counter with the 2 hours, fotos, BBBJ. And she accepts. FANTASTIC gfe. I am feeling froggy with three winners under my belt. My buddies are NOT having as much luck. They are getting the same deals, just not the same experience. They are not choosing wisely.

NF for a night cap nut and I hit pay dirt again! ($40) Adriana, nica, WOW.

In the evening I spent alot of time interacting with other guests, people watching (tica watching) and laughing. Great atmosphere, good times.

Friday brings the Clash of the titans. J'lo vs. Me IV. I am persistant none less. Lets just say I went down like JFK.

So my wingman hits up with a cute little blond, 18, and off he goes. Says it was great, $75. $20 Bill has decided to slum this trip and again picks up someones Mom. But he is gone the rest of the night! So after my defeat at the hands of J'lo the great I slink around the corner and bump into Jennifer, 19, SMOKING! A little chatting. A drink. Boom out the door, again $50 an hour. And everything I want. Screw J'lo. She can't be better than this one. GFE lives! This tica was awesome. BBBJ, Fotos (she got into posing) and I break out the pocket missile (a different one) and she goes to town on her self. WOW. Fantastic doggy and cowboy. BAM dos leches.

So we are late into the night of day 3. $20 Bill still is AWOL with mommasita so my WM and I hang for a while watching and waiting for the perfect one. His arrives in the person of a cute blond colombiana and her friend. Being the Wingman that I am I tell him that I will take one for the team, no matter the price, so that he may make his dream come true. She was HOT! So I get with Valeska, cute, blondish hair, smaller titties that I prefer, but a great ass and lips. Back at the Morazan we enter the room and I shut the door and I am met by the tazmanian sex machine! BBBJ at he door. NUT. Stumble to the shower. Great wash job. Intot he bed. This girl was only about 4'08" I am 6'02". She was able to place her feet flat on my chest whilst I drilled her top the bottom. Again WOW! ($80)

I will post pictures and the rest of my trip post later. But you conspiracy members have been exposed! Tell them SPUR!

[Fantasy]

Are very easy to explain. The higher end girls have heard how much they can make at the Mansion in MDE. They are flocking there

[Professor 1]

I ran across a few "newbies" at the bar whom I helped with translations. They claimed that they read on the internet that it was a prerequisite that for a girl to work at the Del Rey she had to have "a working understanding of English"

The only requirement is the ability to count money. Such is the universal requirement in commerce. I agree with you regarding Spanish. It helped me greatly, as I "dated" a girl who spoke no English, but we could communicate in Spanish.

[Ford]

Thanks for the kind words from my travel mates - Reg Trav and Tbird!

Just back from SJO, and I found it to be largely what it was in my previous two trips in 2004 and 2005. You have some top-notch quality making their appearance at the Del Rey/Blue Marlin/Key Largo nightly and whether you are able to speak Spanish or not - getting laid down there is ....oh....a bit like "fishing in a barrell!"
(or whatever other cliche you want to insert here)

Two minor points. On this trip I was amazed to find that at the Del Rey I wasn't even asked once for more than 50,000 colones ($100) Not even asked!

Now I realize that I am largely fluent in Spanish and I certainly don't give the girls the sense that I'm a newbie - but the prices all started at $100 for an hour and then I was able to "up" the time (often to 3 hours) and chop down the price to 40,000 Col ($80) and as a result I found SJO to be a much more economical getaway in 2007 than it had been in the past.

I'm not sure exactly what to attribute this too. Maybe its the ever increasing pressure from PTY (Panama) as a monger destination or maybe its the fact that more and more Americanos are venturing to the "motherland" Colombia in ever increasing numbers. Whatever it is, prices actually seem to be dropping.

The other point was related to something that happened on my last night (after Tbird and Reg Trav were already horizontal with their dates and I found myself solo at the Del Rey) Guys, the girls that work at the Del Rey and Blue Marlin don't speak English! Some ticas have some ability, but as a general rule - you're going to have to be able to speak Spanish.

It absolutely cracked me up how many drunk (and sometimes not so drunk) Americans were having these long-winded engrossing conversations with Colombian working girls around the bar [in English] and the girls just nodded their heads, and contorted their faces into various expressions in unison with the tone of the words or in correlation to the corresponding expression on the guys face as he talked - but with absolutely no understanding with what was being said! (lol)

(Its similar to what your puppy does when he wants a dog treat or wants to be taken out)

I ran across a few "newbies" at the bar whom I helped with translations. They claimed that they read on the internet that it was a prerequisite that for a girl to work at the Del Rey she had to have "a working understanding of English"

I don't know what board they've been reading, but it sure isn't this one.

Thanks to Reg Trav and Tbird for a nice trip and "hey Fantasy, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy!"

[Mexidan]

My awesome trip to SJO occurred from 7/6-7/18. Here is what I learned.

Airport pickup: Interbus (www.interbusonline.com) is awesome for airport pickup. $6 from the terminal to any hotel in SJO. There will probably be a couple other passengers with you, but that was fine by me. Bus was clean and spacious, driver waited near the terminal door with my name on a sign.

Exchange Rate: If you are changing cash, go to Banco de Costa Rica (BCR). I went to the one on the second floor of the INS building. I got at least 10 colones more there than anywhere else. Very, very secure.

Sportsmans Lodge v El Presidente: I split my time between both places. I wanted a semi-bargain room.

El Presidente. $45/nt + tax with CRT, 7th floor room at the end of the hall, queen size bed and bathroom in room. Gym, sauna. Wireless internet in the room was very strong. Free breakfast buffet was great, hot and cold foods, eggs made to order. You can buy your exit visa here, one less thing to do at the airport. This hotel had a lot of security throughout. The dress code rule is great. Most girls from DR have pants somewhere they change into. The ones that cannot make the dress code are probably banned from there anyways, since the dress code is nothing new.

Sportsmans Lodge. $49/nt + tax w CRT, queen size bed with shared bathroom. Wireless internet great in cafe, horrible in my side of hotel. Fruits and juice for breakfast buffet. Restaraunt food was good, I usually ate dinner here. Security is strong here also, no concerns. Some very beautiful working girls here, just wish it was more routine as there were times when no one was there for hours! Bill is always great and bends over backwards to make sure everyone is having a great time.

Zona Blue, New Fantasy, Pantera Rosa, Molino Rojo: Some people love NF, but i just couldnt get into this place. No alcohol on site, i had 2 colombian girls here who were very mechanical.

At ZB, you can interact with the girls first, buy them drinks, etc. Bartenders here were my most favorite in CR. Had an awesome time with a cute Colombian girl here named Jessica, was a real sweet GFE and her young voice in itself got me excited. Missed out on Pamela, she is always the busiest girl here, but her sister Lorena was awesome, definately my favorita. A hot cuban girl (whose name escapes me) rounds out my fav list. Alaska was my one down point, very mechanical, never made eye contact, made me feel like she would be on the phone texting while doing me if I let her. Otherwise, an awesome place.

At Bar Idem, the place lends itself well to a guy. You usually only buy at most one drink and then up to the room. Every girl I have ever had here has been awesome to me and her performance memorable, even if their name isn't so memorable.

At Pantera Rosa, they never seemed to get that busy, i usually took the free drink and left.

Molino Rojo is a dive place, meant more for ticos. Drinks are very cheap, it is very dark here. Girls are definately lower end, but there are a few cuties if you wait long enough and scout hard enough. For $8 for the room and girl, I really liked this place. Word of advice: GO TO THE BATHROOM BEFORE you come here, and by that I mean take a dump somewhere else. It was the dirtiest toilet here, and no toilet paper makes for an unhappy time!

Strip Clubs: Atlantis is definately expensive and not worth it. Girl drinks are $20 and up, but every woman in here is hot. My strategy walking in was to tell the waiter "I'll signal you when i want a girl of my choosing, until then just bring me my drinks." Never had a problem with that afterward. DO NOT GET DANCES HERE! $20 a song or 3 for $50, its only topless and though the door is closed, it only stays that way temporairly. The mamsans keep sticking their head in every couple of minutes to make sure that you and her aren't doing anything extra. You can get a number here to meet with one of these beauties later, but expect to pay trophy-girl prices.

Kamur. I like this place, the girl drinks are a little bit pricey, but what they do to you on the sofa more than makes up for it. However, feel free to tell the waiter that you will signal him when u are ready for another girl drink, otherwise they will push them all night long. $75 gets u a girl and a room for a half-hour. Some definite beauties in this place, but I just couldn't bring myself to pay this price for so short a time.

Some others to mention are Club Alcasar which has some sexy women @ great rates. Wasn't too impressed with Tango India, though I cant put my finger on why right now.

Discos. Really like El Pueblo, which is where the regular ticas go to have fun. Its a small gated area with bars, Ticos are patted down first. The main discotec needs to learn the term: CAPACITY, for there were way too many people in here that it was impossible to move! The other bars in El Pueblo made up for it.

Wingmen of Merit: I wish I could remember the screennames of everyone who qualifies as a Wingman of Merit. If I mention your name, send me via PM your screenname and I will edit it. BK Tuna is always awesome, I wish I could have spent more time with him. Haywood Jablommi was definitely someone who knew who to conquer his territory. Mark and Jasperhup were my primary wingmen on this trip, and every bar we went to was great just because these guys know how to party, have fun, and always were up for a change of scenery.

Leidy. There is one woman who deserves her own category. A tica who looks like Salma Hayek, she is the most down to earth, great girl to be around and to be with. She is a girl I really do trust in CR. She returned from Panama on my very last nite in SJO, and we made up for lost time. I actually considered staying a few more days but had to get back to the US.

If anyone has any questions, feel free to post and Ill respond. HOOAH!

Many of the chicas are not stupid. T

DB

Exactly. Just for the record, along our mongering path we discovered (in HDR and other places as well)

- a licensed Spanish/English/German translator
- a girl who drives her own cab
- a girl who actually owns a full-size semi and runs a trucking business with her family
- and many girls who are real amateurs, have jobs outside the HDR and pop in there once or twice a week.

But if you are drunk out of your mind, do not speak Spanish, and your biggest achievement of the night is the 15 beers you downed before throwing up on the sidewalk, you will never know that... LOL

[Elusive]

I don't think that most "Gringos" realize that in most Latin countries, (likely all)shorts are not proper attire for an adult male, only children wear shorts.

Good report, T-Bird. I think your observations are very accurate. Although I don't get to the the suburbs often, they are surprisingly clean and modern.

Thank god for all those "drunk frat boy" gringos at the HDR. They make it easy for anyone else to look pretty good in comparison.

All one has to do is make himself presentable, treat the chicas well, take an interest in their lives. And maybe make at least some effort at Spanish, showing a little respect for their culture.

Many of the chicas are not stupid. They can spot this a mile away. Plus, on the Tica network the word spreads quickly.

Suddenly, you are the one who becomes "the prize," which entirely changes the way the game plays itself out.

[Dodger Bulldog]

Mudpie did describe the majority of the mongers inside the Del Rey very well. I still fail to comprehend why someone would choose to look like crap, and behave like a drunk frat boy.

I had the honor of mongering together with Ford and Regulr Travlr, and would like to add my dos colones to the comparison between SJO and other Latin American destinations.

The city itself, in my opinion, is really not great. The sidewalks are in horrible shape, very narrow, the streets hopelessly clogged with traffic - in Bogota there are simply too many vehicles, here the streets are so narrow that two buses and a cab create a three-block pile-up. Having been to Medellin twice, where one really has to look hard to find a cigarette butt or an old wrapper on the sidewalk, I could not but notice how much garbage there is on the streets.

However, one of the girls invited me to a restaurant just outside the city, and it was a completely different story, beautiful, great food and music, very green surroundings.

I found the locals to be very friendly, and helpful. No problems at all. A few taxistas sitting outside the Del Rey wanted 4 times the normal amount for a ride back to our hotel, but were immediately dismissed, and we had no problem finding more reasonable rides.

The Del Rey itself is somewhat of a Campo Alegre experience for me, there is something for everyone there. My problem was who to choose...how to stop staring at yet another blonde Tica with D-cups and focus on what matters - attitude and GFE potential.

Mudpie did describe the majority of the mongers inside the Del Rey very well. I still fail to comprehend why someone would choose to look like crap, and behave like a drunk frat boy.

I consider myself a semi-experienced monger, and on every trip have benefitted from being nice to the girls, clean, and dressed in something other than dirty shorts and flip-flops..but hey, that's just me!
