I am trying to learn how to use this blog site before I actually get to Costa Rica so thought I would practise by answering a common question I have been getting..."Where is Costa Rica anyway?"
Costa Rica is south of Nicaragua and north of Panama. The country is roughly the same size as W. Virginia. Sept. 15th is their Independence Day, so we should be in for some big celebrations on that day! We will be flying into San Jose' which is also the capital of Costa Rica. It appears as though they have a little bit of everything in the way of terrain, beaches, rain forests, volcanoes and etc.
Kevin and I are planning to get a car and drive some of the time vs. taking a bus or taxi. One interesting and somewhat un-believable fact of driving down there is that it is legal to DRINK and DRIVE! Now it is illegal to drive while intoxicated...huh? So it should make for some, uh, interesting times to say the least.
Well more later,
Don
