San Jose Sabado, Febrero 7

One thirty in the morning as we arrive at Fluer de Lys hotel in San Jose Costaa Rica. The landings were hard on my head, but all was fine by 2 AM  and we were well rested by 9 AM. Deysayno of rice and beans with plantinos on the side.  we are off for the central market and the artesians market.
We find the local bus to Sabana Park with lots of help from the local folks. (the sign marking the bus stop had been torn  down). It is so much easieer than the taxis and much cheaper only 30 cents each way. The art at the museum of modern art in the park is fantastic. As soon as I learn howw to post photos I will show you.
On the bus ride back from the park a medium sized parrot/parakeet flew by Ellen's head. She missed it but one block further on in a tree in front of the National Theater there were dozens.
Today we are going to  try our luck at catching a bus to the former capital ciity, Cartage, to see the old cathederal and bassilica.
The fruit and the people are marvelous. Ellen says that they are so friendly she feels bad when she can't buy something from each of them.
