Denied re-entry in Costa Rica
I decided to enter Costa Rica by its northern point, but !!!!
Guess what? They won't let me in because I entered through Paso Canoas and the Aduana guy in Sixaola had never seen a British Columbia tittle that
is actually connected to insurance so he said that I needed to produce a tittle, which for us in BC does simply does not exist like in the states where it is separate.Regardless to the fact that I have already entered CR 2 weeks ago and was in possession of all my docs from CR, insurance still valid for another 2 weeks, and my entry docs, he just simply did not want to do it and told me to go to Paso Canoas, plain and simple.....
After talking to him for over 2hrs, I re-entered Panama to their biggest surprise and the guy from Aduana in Panama couldn't believe it, so for those familiar with this border, he said "come with me, I'll help you"
So we walked the bridge together back to Panama and he tried to explain on my behalf the same arguments but now the CR aduana has his ego challenged so he said again " NO he's not coming in on this side" so I turned around to go back to Paso Canoas 8 hrs drive away..... 
I'll keep you posted to my attempt at crossing today in the south.
