26 Feb to 1 Mar, 2009 - Alajuela, Costa Rica
We came to Alajuela, which is close to San José, in order to meet up with Adam. Again! We met up with him two months ago in L.A. So, this now makes country number five for us to meet with him. We will travel with him over the next few days or week or so, collecting some more and more of his friends as we go. Today, we will be 5, with Lisa to join us.
While waiting for her to arrive, we have done a couple of things around Alajuela. Sarchí is a town which is known for remarkable woodworking. In particular, they make traditional Costa Rican ox-carts, which are decorated for parades and exhibitions all over the country. We also made a stop at a snake farm, near Grecia.
A Carreta
A painted ox-cart, an unofficial symbol of Costa Rica. This is from Sarchí, a town known for woodworking, and especially for this sort of carreta.
Me and a snake
Richard gets up close and personal with a false coral snake.
