Hi,
I have been drooling at all the trips reports for SJ and finally plopped down my money to come Nov. 7th.
I was reading the following trip report and thought based on my experience I would likely mirror this (so I thank him for his report)

However, I realized I might want to give up some of my own details and see if I might be exposing myself to to much risk. I will be coming in late on the 7th to La Amistad. And I will be on my own. I prefer to monger on my own. I have been through Mexico and Korea, Phillipine, Bulgaria and some other choice places I won't mention here. I am a big guy and very confident. Copy of passport, take taxi when I can.
But I really enjoy walking. I will be ok walking around during the day. Unless you have a gun or three guys I wouldn't be what I would consider a normal target I would think in normal places. How aggressive are the night time theives and players?
And just in case I don't feel comfortable, is there anyone going to be around during that period? maybe I would commit to cab for a few nights.
