Back to San Jose!

We left our wonderful beachside villa and headed back toward San Jose!

Along the way we stopped to do some souvenir shopping.  One of the places was a artisan coop, where they also make the ox carts that Costa Rica is so well known for.  These carts are different form other Latin American carts because they are beautifully hand painted!  We were able to see them being cut, assembled and painted. 

Once we reached our hotel in San Jose, students have two options:  they could walk around San Jose with a chaperone or they could attend the cultural evening that they signed up for prior to departure.  Both groups had a fun evening.  Those who went to the cultural night, experienced a view like no other of San Jose and cultural dancing overlooking the city.
