Can't Escape the Rain

After a long flight & much turbulence we made it to San Jose - only to have brought the rain with us!!! May is the beginning of Costa Rica's rainy season and yet it is still a beautiful place. Our hotel, the Tryp Sabana, is one of the top hotels in the city. From our room we can see the "old" airport. The airport was once located in the heart of San Jose (now located about 20 min out of town).
After arriving we were able to walk around town and view some of the many interesting Culture differences - such as the manner in which they walk across the streets (run- as fast as possible), the Spanish architectural buildings, and the pride they have in their city. Costa Rican flags are located all over town in honor of their independence from Spain which is celebrated every September. 
Tomorrow will bring yet another early morning with breakfast at 6 & leaving for the white water rafting @ 7 only to be followed by a tour of the chocolate factory! 


Ready to see what tomorrow has in store!! :)
