Interesting dude reading a paper in San José
Bus stops are always a fun places to watch humanity. A San José, Costa Rica bus stop is no different. While waiting for a bus from San José to Puerto Jimeniz to hike in the Corcovado National Park, I snapped this shot of an interesting local reading the newspaper.
Scenery from my bus window
San José to Puerto Jimeniz is a ten hour trip traveling through over 350 kms of the country. This trip consists of half the country as the capital is centrally located. After watching half of the countryside pass by I can attest this country has no Iowa, Kansas, or Indiana regions as the whole bus ride I was staring open mouthed in awe at the beauty of the scenery.

It would only get better when I stepped on a small plane which would take me into the wild lands of Corcovado National Park. National Geographic calls this place the most biologically intense place on the planet.
Stay tuned,

Ted, glad you’re enjoying things so far and that the scenery is anything but disappointing. I’ve heard rave reviews about travel here for years and with lots of family friends and travelers convincing me to go, I really have no excuses. This is a must for me on my next backpacking journey.
