Turrialba Cost Rica

My favorite place in the small town of Turrialba was along the river that comes down from the volcano. There were many birds in the tall trees with orange blooms

San Jose Costa Rica

Had a great trip to Costa Rica. The first day in San Jose by myself. Took a taxi to the central market. Lots of people shopping, cruising on a Friday evening. With no Walmart and other American style shopping the central market was bustling. San Jose had a European feel with a tropical Latin influence. I loved it and felt very energized.
The market had stalls with fresh fruit and vegetables, meat, housewares and just about anything else one might need or want. The herbal medicine booth smelled wonderful.
