Costa Rica Sunday 14 November 2010

San Jose, Costa Rica Sunday 14 Nov 2010
I Arrive at hotel 10pm saturday night 23 hours after leaving Bovingdon at 5am. Costa Rica is 6 hours behind the UK. It is the wrong hotel thanks to a communication failure by Explore but all sorted today.
I wander around the central area of the city, very pleasant this sunny sunday with locals and tourists mingling and relaxing in the main square. Musicians in traditional dress, children feeding and chasing pidgeons, most people just sitting and chatting.
Lunch in a locals´ caf is coffee and a flat crusty toasted sandwich. The contents are unknown to me when I choose it due my lack of spanish and their lack of english (fair enough). It turns out to be beef and tomatos, tasty.
5pm now, the group meets at 7pm for introductions followed by a meal somewhere in San Jose.
Got to go, All the Best,
John

(just done spell test, every word highlighted! not unreasonable from a spanish set computer?)
