On Friday we went on a walking tour of San Jose, which is a really pretty city. There are a number of little parks every where. The architecture is really interesting, a number of the buildings are modeled after buildings in Europe. Did you know that San Jose was the third city in the world to have electricity?
Then 12.5 (one person was only there for half of the time) of us went to Manuel Antonio, which is a national park on the pacific coast. It took us about 3 hours by bus to get there from San Jose and we stayed in a hostel Friday and Saturday night and came back Sunday afternoon. On Saturday night as we were waking back from dinner we saw a baby sloth crawling along the telephone line to cross the street, it was one of the cutest things I have ever seen. After a nice relaxing weekend with little sleep, (who can sleep in when there is so much exploring to do?) I am ready for another week!
