Hola amigos. Only one more day in Central America left so I better make the most of it. I will spend my last day in the capital of Costa Rica, San Jose and then leave very early Monday morning for Mexico City. It has been a nice week so far in Costa Rica. I spent most of the time visiting the Pacific Coast since I only had a few days. Costa Rica is definately more touristy than the rest of Central America and hence more expensive, but on the plus side there is a lot less garbage by the side of the road and the buses are nicer but still pretty cheap and easy to get around. One thing I noticed while in Nicaragua (and Honduras and Guatemala) is that almost everyone throws their garbage out the bus window. So the sides of the roads, ditches and so on are filled with junk. Of course they keep the touristy areas cleaner, but it is such a shame. As soon as I arrived in Costa Rica I noticed there was hardly any garbage and that everything seemed greener. Perhaps they fertilzed the side of the roads near the border because soon enough the bus was travelling through dry ranch country.
The city of San Jose is nice and cool compared to the steamy Pacific coast and it is a nice change. The beaches were really nice though and it was great to spend my last few days relaxing on the sand.
