Pictures Downtown

            Yesterday Caroline and I went on a picture-taking extravaganza through San Jose.  While we didn’t get too many pictures, we did manage to find an awesome playground and a really cool park.  I did the monkey bars for the first time in years and we teeter-tottered a bit.  Last night I also went to the movies to see Tron with Quincy and Aubrey.  It had some pretty cool special effects movie and for only $2 a ticket it was definitely worth it.  Back to the pictures, here are some I took while rambling around San Jose.
The street on which I live.  If you look closely you can see my house.  It's the orange looking one on the left right past the green bars/fence.

Mi casa!


The ever-present barbed wire and metal bars that surround most houses and yards here in San Jose.  You get use to them after awhile.

Along with the barbed-wire, there always seems to be trash everywhere.  San Jose isn't really the cleanest city.

A church steeple

A cool pillar with interesting phrases on it.  It was located next to a school.

Some Costa Rican graffiti

An American bar!

Some strange man at the park wanted mt to take a picture of him an his "woman." Hmm... He and I bumped fists afterward and exchanged "pura vidas"
I think it's some kind of crow but I'll let Norene be the judge of that.
