We took the bus from Jaco to San Jose. It was only 3 hours.

Had breakfast in Jaco before leaving.

Tried out the hot tub at the Holiday Inn in San Jose when we got there.

Then went on a city bus tour.

First place was the art museum which used to be their airport. You can kind of see that the tower in the back was the air traffic control tower.

One of the features of the art museum was a room with a carving in the wall outlining the history of Costa Rica.

It had other art too.

Then off to the city. As you can see it was raining!

We went to the central market which had several hundred stores selling everything.

Then we went to the church

Then the national theater.

Then to the park to see the memorial to the war of central america. This is the one that the American William Walker instigated in the 1850s.

Then to dinner.
