In Costa Rica, cars just stop in the street so the drivers can talk to someone they know.

The ubiquitous red taxis across from the city bus station. An ATM is in the middle. The red church steeples can be seen in the distance.

I took this photo while waiting for my own bus. Yes, the white and orange one is a Mercedes Benz. They are common here.

  1. Lee thanks for the great pictures and the additional link. I added a direct link just below the pictures.

  2. 70k people live in the grecia area, town has a village feel most days once the peak hours have passed. I find this very nice, but when the crush of people dominate it gets impersonal and a bit greecy too.
