Puntarenas Costa Rica 8

 We had a couple mishaps today in our bus ride from the Tarcoles River. The first happened when our bus driver stopped to pay a toll fee and the gate came down on the bus and shattered an upper window. Awhile later we heard a large boom and the bus seemed a bit wobbly.  The bus driver stopped immediately and found a front tire was blown and it was right off the rim. We waited about an hour for a new bus. But we made it back on time to cruise away.
