10 More Views from Costa Rica

We're here! Saturday! Back at the weekend.

Always a good thing but this weekend will FLY since it is only 2 days and not 4 like last weekend was for me.

Wouldn't it be great if every weekend was longer than 2 days?

Guess it wouldn't be so much fun if every weekend was long but I think I could still handle it.

Ha-ha.

So today-

10 more views of Costa Rica.

I took so many photos and have so much to show.
Think it is just about time to get moving on though.
Mentally, I am moving forward and leaving this trip behind except in my memories.
So ready?

And isn't this tile work gorgeous.  It was at one of the homes we visited, the kitchen counters were all tiled like this. I love it!

And we went to a Costa Rican bull fight.  More like a rodeo with bucking broncos, no bulls get killed-thank goodness- its more to judge the bulls to see which ones are the best at bucking and throwing off the riders.  It is a HUGE sport here- along with soccer.

And final photo, this mural at the elementary school in Port Jimenez. Handprints, happy faces, one sad face, a mon, a few names.

Love this. 

Hope you loved my 10 random photos too.
