A small group of folks from what will be our large (18!) group for the next two weeks met this afternoon for a walking tour of central San José. We had an excellent guide, Enrique, and it was a pleasant afternoon for a stroll and some history. (I've decided to continue posting my travelogue on Facebook, so I'm duplicating here for my own purposes. And sorry about the captions' wonky formatting, but the content is what matters.)
