The next day I had to figure out where to stay as I could only get two days at Presidente. I really liked Presidente, it had a great shower, was close to BM, and my discount got me $51 a night. I walked over to the Sportsman's Lodge and made my reservation. I was surprised to discover how close everything was and what a nice walk. Even so, I kept my eyes open. I watched for open businesses I could duck in to or security guards I could bowl over. They may not help me, but if I tackled the guard, my would-be-attacker would be so confused they'd probably split.

From there I decided to go to the Zona Blue. I knew the price and I had a discount card. I was the only gringo there with about 8 chicas. A chica named Sophie caught my eye as she was so young and cute, again the nice rack but not much rear. Then three gringos rolled in and I knew the pickings could get slim pretty soon. So I nabbed Sophie and asked her if she had a friend she'd like to dupla with. She grabbed Marie and we were off to a room.

It was fairly straightforward, I handover the money and discount card up front. They disappear for about 5 minutes and come back with some towels. We take a shower together. They massage. And then we get down to business. I must admit that I wasn't very agressive. I kind of like to see how things turn out on their own rather than push something that might not go over well. That's part of the reason I asked Sophie to choose the other girl, you always get a better session when the girls know one another and are comfortable. This was part of my learning curve. The girls mentioned that one time they dupla'd a guy and got so turned on that he complained, "Hey, more me, less you". It was a good session and they were quite personable.

While there I met another monger who I ended up spending some time with, I'll call him Arizona. I had tried to connect up with about three other guys but they were arriving later, and then I didn't know how to find them. They were at the BM. So were 100 other guys and I was too reserved to go around asking, "Are you Jet Jock? How about Frankp? CB?" As it turned out I became comfortable enough on my own meeting guys at the ZB and finally gave up trying to connect.

Arizona gave me some good advice and we hit it off. We got lunch and he told me he used Cialis, not necessarily because he needed it, but why risk a bad session when you're paying so much? Even though I'm well into my 40's I'd only recently experienced less than full staff, but I'd heard that once you tried it you might never go back to natural. Still, I took his advice and we hit the pharmacy across the street. It was a great investment. He said he only took about 1/3 of the 20 mg in the morning and that seemed to last all day. As time went on I broke that into 1/6 in the morning and evening.

We then went over to the BM and made the mistake of sitting down. Arizona went to the bar and left me alone for about 20 seconds. That gave Angie and Wendy a chance to swoop in for the kill on poor little me. They litterally pinned me in behind the table. I liked Angie, but Wendy didn't look interested. They proposed a dupla for $50 each (which I thought was a pretty good deal as I'd paid $60 the night before for one chica and again I liked the friend thing), but again I protested that Presidente only allowed one chica. They proposed we go to a short time room for $10. I didn't know anything about those but wanted to learn. I asked about the quality of the room and they said it was "okay" but the Mirazon had a better 2 hour room for $25.

By now Arizona had come back and seeing there was no hope of rescuing me had scoped on a cute little blonde. I was still negotiating and trying to get a feel for how good this was going to be from their attitude. I'm a newbie and easily gullible. My major negotiating problem is that when I see something I like, money is no problem. I have the patience of a gnat. Arizona said he was taking his girl and now I was alone and getting interested. I finally relented and I figured we'd do the Mirazon, why skimp out on $15 and risk a bad room? As we walked to the Mirzaon, I was fumbling about getting to my Cialis (for some reason hoping the chica's wouldn't notice) and finally bit off a small chunk. Why risk a bad session?

It turned out that it was $30 for the room as there was another $5 fee for the extra chica. Again a learning experience I don't regret. As it turned out they wouldn’t do hardly anything together. Peck on the lips, breast kissing, that was it. When I told them I wanted more they pretended to DATY, but they made no secret there was no contact. What was funny is Angie was cuter and good personality, but she was dry and I had no lube, so it wasn't that great. Wendy actually turned out to be surprisingly responsive considering her earlier attitude.

It was a fairly standard session, but I really got my $30 worth from that room, we trashed it. They also told me they were half-sisters from Nicaragua. I tend to believe them because they looked a bit similar and they didn’t use it as a gimmick to get me to go (although it would have worked), and told me after we were getting dressed. I figure that’s why they wouldn’t DATY, they had their standards.

Another lesson learned is that since it wasn't my room, I didn't have a safe, and while I wasn't carrying much, I didn't want it to get stolen. So whenever it was just one girl in the shower with me, I got nervous about my stuff and cut the shower short. Plus I didn't have my camera with me, so no pics.

I was tired that evening so I didn't get a girl from BM. But as I walked through the lobby I saw this big heavy monger with this chica that had the perfect heart-shaped rear end. I stood there transfixed trying to get a glimpse of her face, but I looked pretty stupid staring so I went upstairs. Then it occurred to me that hanging out in the lobby of Presidente is probably a better way to watch the girls. Presumably only the best from BM go through there.

Frogman: Thanks for the colorful reporting. I think you have found your calling. You are now one of us, my friend. Welcome to the club.

I have really fond memories of the places you mentioned. I went to Costa Rica 18-19 times over two years. I finally burned out on the place and moved on to Medellin. But I still have some girlfriends left behind, and every now and then I go back to see how they are doing.

You did not mention Oasis Massage. I highly recommend that place...and the cost is only 12,000 collones right now, about $25 bucks. I think that is about half what the ZB charges. Babes are just as hot. Sessions are just as good. Not to know Zona Blue. I left mucho leche behind there.
