This weekend I felt like I was in a whole different country! Well maybe more like Texas. We went to Guanacaste for the Independence day but turns out there was a HUGE rodeo, full of games, bull fights, horse shows, cows, food, souvenirs, carnival rides, free sampling booths and plenty of people to watch. We spent 14 hours there on the first day!
On Sunday we traditional dancing and singing in the central park and then drove to the Pacific to spend time at Playa Conchal, where are blonde gringa powers got us free horse rides on the beach.
We went back to Liberia for the night and just hung out down town and watched an open air type concert. The most entertaining part was the homeless people dancing with no shame on the stage. Later that night we saw them all sleeping on the same side walk and congratulated them on their dancing from what we can tell they are “married”.
Monday brought the crazy too, we were just heading home but turns out the celebration was everywhere, which included authentic dancing in front of Mundo Magica (A target type equivalent), marimbas in the bus stop, and a hodge podge marching band with children dancers. Oh Costa Rica how I love you.
