Since we have Mondays off we decided to head to San Jose for a few hours. We stopped at a "soda" for some cheap yet delicious food and then spend a few hours walking around the crowded streets and markets. Sadly, we didn't make it to either the Museum of Gold or the Jade Museum, nor did we check out the National Theater or Park. Instead we passed through an old liquour factory converted to cultural center as well as one of the cities large cathedrals. We also sought out a few of the parks that the city had to offer and it was refreshing to see some green mixed among the gray concrete. However, we are heading there in a couple of weeks and there are many more free Mondays for us to explore the city another time. I'm not quite sure what more San Jose has to offer than that though, and most Ticos around Santa Ana seem to think it is a fairly dangerous place. But I can't imagine its any worse than any other large city. Either way I look forward to exploring San Jose a bit more before the semester comes to a close.
