Playing tourist Central San Jose

---

Thursday we played tourist in San Jose after Bill's dental appointment. (three fillings for $72).
I'd been wanting to see the National Arts and Craft Street Market for some time but we just hadn't made it there. Thursday we finally did.

The market is on 13th street between 2nd and Central Avenue, west of the Plaza de la Democracia. ticoartesanias You can find many of the same things you find in all the shops throughout the country but less expensive. For example, a wooden bread board made to hold a baguette was priced at 8,000 colones or $16 at the mercado, we've seen the same in La Fortuna selling for $80. T-shirts sell for $5.00 each and Callista found her miniatures for 500 colones or $1 each.

We had a great day wandering around 'the city' but were happy to get out before the rush hour traffic started.

Pura Vida!
Jen, Bill, Callista and Bear (who has been spending a lot of time home alone lately)
