Parade!
9:17 PM
San Jose, Costa Rica 12-26-11
Hi, everyone. I arrived in San Jose this morning about 8:30--a quick hour flight from Panama City--leaving me 6 hours to wait for the group. I made it to our hotel, the Gran Hotel Costa Rica, just before the big parade closed off the main streets. I'm still not quite clear on what the festival is, but Erick told me later it's some kind of rotating festival through the country that has a parade and a carnival. Here in San Jose, the last festival of the year--well, it's a big deal. Lots of police (but didn't manage to get Jeff a hat)...
And since this is a horse parade, lots of cowboys...
And smiling cowgirls...
...dressed for work on the ranch...
Some cow-bits...
Some rednecks...
And other folks...
Seems like I could've been in Amarillo or Santa Fe.
Oh, and then there was a parade--
later, bob
