Tour
Macayla next to braided tree in front of Teatro Nacional.Got a late start today and could not get the bus to the Parque Nacional Volcan Poas. So, we were stuck on finding more to do here in San Jose. There is not much. We decided on a self-guided tour of the city of San Jose. We started at Teatro Nacional which is a national theater housed in a building built in 1897. This theater has some pretty impressive pieces of art. Then we went to a cathedral which happened to be holding mass at the time so we went in and looked from a distance. We came across the Parque Central that had many statues of bulls painted in different ways. Not unlike the city of Virginia Beach that has many statues of mermaids. I was amused by several of them as you can probably tell by all of the photos I took. There were many more but I stopped taking photos when Macayla started getting annoyed. We then made our way to San Pedro to see the insect museum. We spent a long time trying to find this place on the campus of UCR and it was a disappointment. They had lots of insectos but none were alive. We

Teatro Nacional were really looking foward to the live versions. Made our way back to San Jose and grabbed a bite to eat at Spoon. I nice little restaurant but a little more expensive than I would have liked. Made our way back to the hostel in the pouring rain. Yuck! We are getting on the bus to Parque Nacional Volcan Poas tomorrow and hopefully get some good views of the volcano and wildlife. We are also intending to move to a new hostel tomorrow.

Hello!
Glad to hear that you are enjoying all the sites - the view from the hostel is awesome! Why are you looking to move to another hostel? How is the food? What is the temperature? Is there any item that you wish you had? You'll be there long enough we could probably ship it to you! Ha ha - Mark says you'll just have to suffer! Can't wait to hear more! Much love...
