Wild Bill

They couldn't find me.

So I disappeared again into Costa Rica.

And from there, I set up my new life.

I lived in a place in Costa Rica that was probably one of certainly the happiest times of my life.

I lived in this place called Arrecife.

Arrecife was a...

little bar in a place called Puerto Viejo de Talamanca, which is in the Limon province of Costa Rica on the Caribbean Ocean.

It was an international community because Puerto Viejo de Talamanca had exploded as a surfing place.

So all these hippie surfers came from all over the world, not just the United States.

They came from England and Germany and Italy.

And it was an international community that was popping.

I mean, there were more foreigners in the town than there were actually locals.

So in that place, I lived with these Italian boys in a place called Arecife.

At RSCFA, many things happened.

There were three fellows, Mario, Lalo, and Pietro.

Lalo was this big guy.

He was about the same size as I was, and he was kind of fat because he was the cook, and he cooked so good.

He really did cook good.

And then Mario ran the operation and Pietro was the bartender.

Arecife, which means in Italian and Spanish, the reef, coral reef, was right on this big coral reef on the beach, right on the beach.
