Exploring San José for a couple of days

Hi Everyone,

I arrived to San José de Costa Rica last Wednesday. Just 5 hours from Toronto.

Well, this is a ´TROPICAL´ city. When I say tropical is more than 28 Celsius, rain and high humidity. For instance, if you want an extreme adventure just try to cross a street. This is pure adrenaline! Taxis, buses and motos will try to kill you.


Streets are plenty of curiosities.

People quitely rummor that some nights (specially during new moon phase) trees walk around the city. Trees are so excited and dance all the night as in remote times. This exciment extends until sparks of sunrise emerge from the east and trees don´t have time to come back to their original place.



















Coffee farmers still using ´ecofriendly´and colorful transportation....





Food. This is real food. Take a look, just for 4 dollars. ´Casados´(which means married in spanish) is the typical dish in Costa Rica based on Rice and black beans. Ask for sweet plantain.Uhmmmmmmm!!!
