Back in Costa Rica

We return to Costa Rica in hopes of finding some birds we missed in 2024. We also decided to take a tour of downtown San Jose, to see how the people actually live instead of just the wildlife area. Here are some random notes.

Chris has a packing cube full of packing cubes that one can select from when packing. Mike is assigned blue this trip.

We learned that Costa Rica was named because the Europeans thought there was a lot of gold here so it was the rich coast 

“The coffee probably isn’t very strong here” is unlikely to be true since coffee is grown here

We are staying at the same hotel we stayed at 20 years ago near the airport before our tour starts. I think it was a little prettier 20 years ago but it’s still nice.

So far, we have discovered that Mike has forgotten deodorant, lip balm and his toothbrush. Will update as the trip goes on.
