Even though I'm now in Monteverde, I still have tons of stuff to write about from the first two weeks of our trip. Now that I have decent Internet access and a good computer to work with, I'm going to play a little catch-up. First up is the culture museum in downtown Alajuela.
Costa Rica's George Washington is a guy named Juan Santamaria. You can read a bunch about him here, but suffice it to say that he fought against some Imperialist American trying to conquer all of Latin America. The museum has all sorts of artifacts from the war, but what was really cool was what you could see from the roof. There was an elevator that took us up there, and from there I got some really good shots of the streets of Alajuela. Take a look here and take notice of how different things are from the streets you drove down today. Typically, there are 10 times more cars and 100 times more people, but it still gets the point across.
