Art City Tour

Liz and I have mutually decided that, instead of spending our last two weeks spending money and time on buses and hostels, we would like to explore the cultural diversity of our city, San José.

I promise it's not a bad set-up for a joke! Sunday we went to a Christmas concert at the National Museum and today we went to some shops in Sabanilla and then on a free art tour, eloquently named Art City Tour. It was like the classy side of San José I never knew existed. We went to, among other places, two contemporary art museums, two design stores, a French art collective, and some kind of artisan co-op.  Some pictures can tell you better than I can. However, not pictured: me playing a videogame in which the US is sent to Costa Rica to fight the war on drugs, but instead marijuana plants become sentient and soldiers have to shoot them. In the moving art exhibit.

Elizapedia came with me, and a sweet old lady was in our group too.

Unrelated to much else, but this was the strangest sign I think I have seen, ever.

And finally, the favorite of the night: the caption says "Adonde la llevo, mi reina?" Unfortunately represents virtually all of my experiences with taxistas.

Don't think too much more of SJ, though, because I'm still not getting along with taxistas (ha) and I think doctors and motorcycles (?) are on strike. Some things never change.
