We arrived in San José last night around 8:30, got to our downtown hotel around 9:30—all in the dark. So it was fun to wake up today and look out our big window. We ventured a couple of blocks to a sweet coffeehouse that served real breakfasts. Took a walk in the 180-acre Parque la Sabana, across from our hotel. Wandered through local neighborhoods. And otherwise generally rested up. (We're both still getting over a cold and/or bronchitis, and resting up felt good.) Here are some photos I took. (Click to see them larger.)

| The view from our window |
 |
| I loved the multitude of hearts on my latte! |
 |
| A beautiful beetle. |
 |
| Maybe Handroanthus chrysotrichus, golden trumpet tree |
 |
| Parque la Sabana is very pleasant and well used |
 |
| The lago is empty, except for puddles and abundant water hyacinth (barely visible, but there) |
 |
| A kitty friend |
 |
| A rather forlorn owl |
 |
| Vendors and kites |
 |
| Crossing the street was challenging, until we noticed an overpass |
 |
| An artistic cow at the hotel we'll be moving to Sunday |
 |
| The national stadium, and an ongoing football match: easy to tell which side is which |
 |
| The overhead wires are artistic statements unto themselves |
 |

| The morning view, but at night |
