Things to do in downtown San José, Costa Rica; Museums, Parks and even a Cow Parade

---

Junior and I walked around San José, Costa Rica this past Saturday. Our travels took us to; Parque Zoológico Simón Bolivar (the San Jose Zoo), Museo de Oro Y Numismática (the Pre-Columbian Gold and Numismatic or Money Museum), Museo Nacional (the National Museum) in the old Costa Rica army fort known as the Bellavista Headquarters.

We were also fortunate enough to view the limited time showing of Cow Parade which features themed cows created by local artists that have been placed all over the downtown San Jose area. This is the same International organization that brought Cow Parade to my former home of Chicago several years ago.

One nice thing about San José, Costa Rica is its size. All points of interest are within walking distance or a $2.00 cab ride. Weekend days are best for sight seeing with most museums and other places of interest having weekend hours while at the same time vehicle traffic is at a minimum.

Attached are a couple pictures you will hopefully find fun. As always, more pictures are available online at: http://BienvenidosCostaRica.dotPhoto.com

Culturally Yours!
