San Jose, Day 1

Hello!

So I didn't really expect to be updating so quickly, but unfortunately we are getting some torrential downpour so I'm back at the hostel and figured, may as well! I finally got a good night's sleep last night and was up and ready to explore San Jose this morning. Had my day mostly planned out what I wanted to do, starting with the Jade Museum, which I have decided is going to be my only museum on this trip. Also wandered around part of San Jose, mostly in circles for a few hours. Not because I don't have a map, or because the streets are all that confusing, but because most of the streets are not labelled because apparently Ticos don't use street names for directions, only landmarks. But whatever, it was a good way to see the city :-)

Had lunch in a nice restaurant where my waiter invited me to go dancing tonight. Unfortunately (or not), I had to refuse. Following lunch, my day was done and here I am back at the hostel. Luckily, since just as I was arriving, it started absolutely pouring rain for the second time today (the first of which I was caught in, thank god I invested in an umbrella). If it clears up later I may head out for a bit longer to check out a market or something, but otherwise I'm just here hanging out, hopefully meeting some like-minded people.

Hope the weather is better where you are!

P.S. I've changed the settings so that anyone can post a comment... now comment!
