San Jose

On Saturday we went to San Jose and visited all the tourist sites including the gold museum, the national theater, the national museum, many parks, outdoor and indoor markets, and a piece of the Berlin Wall. It was fun to cruise around San Jose for the day, to go to the big city.



Here is one of the first statues in San Jose that we saw.

This is the central square that kind of reminds me of Venice with all the birds.


This is in the museum of gold. All of these items have been found underground all over Costa Rica from hundreds of years ago.

Jane and I in front of the national theatre.

This is one of the rooms at the national museum. Andy was the only one to go into the museum, since the rest of us were tired and just took some pictures on the outside.

This is outside the national museum. Andy took a picture of the huge rock, which we still don't understand the significance, and of the gringo tour group.

This is a path outside the national museum in the government district of San Jose.


Another statue. I made Andy pick me up for this one.

This is a piece of the Berlin wall, the only piece I've ever seen and it is in Costa Rica. Andy told me not to smile for the photo.
They are trying to get into the San Jose zoo through the back door. Unfortunately, they did not succeed.

This is one of the main parks and squares. It was actually under construction for an event, and Andy wanted to check out what they were doing.

Breakfast Sunday morning. A typical Costa Rican breafast: gallo pinto, plantains, cheese, tortillas, papaya and coffee. Mmmm. Mery is in the background. I don't think she understood that Andy was taking a picture, or maybe she did understand...
