Costa Rica (San Jose)

Mauricio & friend welcome me to San Jose
Cleaning up the bike (a happy/sad day)
The church of Desamparados
My first Mc Donalds (they called me a baracho for this one)
Lucia & daughter whip up something for dinner
Kid with pigeon in the park
2 guys busy tearin' up the streets, 2 guys watchin'
Mauricio working up a sweat building his greenhouse
Me applying a weathering protectant
Proud and finally finished after 3 days of hard work
Pepe's birthday celebration (Pepe on the congos)
Pepe's joins in (together a duelling force)
Mauricio spices it up with some flamenco strummin'
Now we're talkin'...
Late in the evening the partying continues on...
It eventually moves to central park
Even with Mo on guitar we didn't make 3 colones (a dime)
The cops just hated us, trust me they really did
The transferring of the bike papers to Mauricio
Today they celebrate the assimilation of Guanacaste
Parading silly paper clowns
Very large oxen carrying small children and pulling carts
Students dressed up and dancing
Others not so interested
Crazy men on frothing wacked out horses
This guy was a real treat
Arranging the trade (my bike fer a guitar)
Well whaddaya know, Carlos finally shows!
Carlos & family pose
Victor (making a guest appearance), me, & Carlos
'Take another'
Lucia felt left out, so we let her in on one
Waiting at the gate for my plane ride home (where's Carlos?)
Me posing next to the aircraft
Goodbye Central America (view from the window)
