Our tour through San Jose was on a nifty double decker bus. I’d never actually been on one before, so that was neat. It was cool to be up above traffic and have a better view of the city. I, of course, used this opportunity to snipe photos of pretty much every possible interesting thing on our route. I was surprised by the amount of really fantastic graffiti! I love graffiti! Another noteworthy thing that I found surprising was the amount of barbed wire, gates, fences, electric fences, spikes etc that literally every home and business has on their building. I don’t perceive that Costa Rica has a high crime rate, so I feel like this may just be cultural, but it didn’t go a long way in giving me the warm fuzzies about walking around. Lunch was at a “traditional Costa Rica” buffet. I’m pretty sure it was just a quick and easy place the guides know of that will get us tourists in and out without much fuss. It was tasty either way, so no complaints.
