We flew into San José on Saturday afternoon and it was pouring. We navigated through the city in our rental car and quickly learned they don't believe in street signs or traffic signals. It was pretty sweet.
Costa Ricans do, however, believe in North Americans--every billboard is in English, especially if it has to do with real estate.
Hotel Don Carlos was super artsy. I loved it. We had our first exposure to Tico (Costa Rican) food: rice and beans. The platanos fritos (fried bananas) changed my life.
We even managed to find an LDS church in a terrifying part of town. We only stayed for Sacrament Meeting, but we got teary-eyed attending church in Spanish again.

Toby from The Office will appreciate all the English billboards when he moves to Costa Rica.
It looks like you guys had a more than amazing time! Way to rock it Costa Rican style!
