Picture Sunday: Wednesday Edition

 Stopped at a beach on the way to Manuel Antonio

 Walking home after cafecito at a coffee shop run by a really nice Guatemalan gentleman

 Food from a Mexican restaurant in Heredia called Taco Titlan. So good.

 There's always interesting fruit for breakfast

 View on the way to Manuel Antonio. We could see crocodiles in the water on the other side of this bridge.

 A daily view of the church in San Rafael

Picture Sunday: 2nd Edition

I can't believe it's the middle of June already. This coming Tuesday will mark my 3rd week in Costa Rica. Classes are going well but the homework load can be quite overwhelming; we have a lot to accomplish in 2 months. That said, we still have many opportunities to explore Costa Rica.

Here's a glimpse of what I've been up to...

 Tour of Earth University's banana farm

 Day at the beach near Puerto Limón

Tour of a cacao farm and chocolate making facilities that included a chocolate tasting session. I tried several interesting combinations like chocolate and curry spice. Apparently chocolate and garlic make a good combination.

The view from the chocolate tasting lounge
Museo de Los Niños in San Jose (the building was originally used as a prison but was converted into a children's museum)

Train exhibit at the museum

Tamale wrapped in banana leaves

and maduro con queso (plantain with cheese) for lunch

I have tried many strange fruits including this one
