Let's just say I made it to San Jose, Costa Rica a little tired but full of excitement. I got there 1 hour earlier than my two other traveling buddies -- Sarah and Jennifer-- so I waited outside the airport with the CR-ans who were also waiting for their families and friends. When they arrived we found Toni, Roda's brother who had come to pick us up at the airport.
We were zooming past cars, last-minute stops as a motorcycle cut through our path, and stuck in a terrible evening traffic! I felt like home (Peru). But, San Jose has a different feel to it. Its like the city has been built on a rainforest.. there's houses and buildings but palm trees and other types of trees right by them. As we zoomed by one street I noticed a cow in a small squared pasture in the middle of houses!
Here the houses don't have numbers. To get somewhere you need reference points and subdivision names. Seems like all the taxis know where everything is!
When we got to the house that we were staying at for the night in San Jose, we walked to a nearby paneria to buy some fresh bread to go with our CRan coffee. Mmm good evening snack.
Much later we went to visit the San Jose mall and ate some basic food. I decided to keep it safe with a chicken soup since I feel like I have a cold. But I also tried half an empanada...with cheese? Then it was off to bed and wait 'till this morning.
