San Jose Condos - Reviews and Rates

Friday I had class from 8am-12 and then we left from the ISA office at 1 to go to Monteverde for the weekend.  The drive was about 5 hours long and we arrived around 6:30pm.  We got settled in and then went the wrong way trying to get to town.  After finally turning around, we decided to eat at a restaurant with typical CR food.  I had grilled f...

Hola!

I can't believe I am starting my 7th week here! Lucky number 7 right? I don’t know how lucky writing final papers is…but hopefully it won’t be so bad. Week 6 was our free week. We had the hospital visit on Monday that I mentioned before and then Tuesday was a full day of class and then Wednesday we only had my morn...

Finally made it to Costa Rica after a lot of aggravation at US customs, We flew from LA via Phoenix and were just boarding when they called out our names to go to the service desk. We ask what they wanted and they inform us that we need an exit ticket from Costa Rica before we could board. As we are going over land to Panama we didn't have one, ...

Remember Johnny? Rich business man good looking too by the way. Well today we both agreed on going to the Museo de Oro Banco Central (Gold Museum). Price: $7.00 [but for me it was free because Johnny payed] About the Gold Museum-- Located directly beneath the Plaza de la Cultura, this unusual underground museum houses one of the largest collecti...

Dearest loved ones, Such a tragic way to begin a correspondence, but despite all of that, life has been on and off good, as always. Let me start off by explaining why i haven´t posted. Nothing much happens or excites in the rural community. Sure there´s a whole lotta gossip, so and so´s knocked up and the baby´s daddy is Susan´s husband, and wha...

We had arranged to meet Lenny & Catherine again before they left Central America, so hooked up with them at Hostel Pangea, which advertises itself as the only hostel in the world with a mechanical bull. The bull wasn´t working, but that didn´t stop Lenny & Dave seeking out a photo opportunity after a few beers. San Jose isn´t as bad as some of t...

Something weird is happening with my water pipes. At least, I think it's the water pipes. You know that noise a washing machine will make when it's off balance? The 'ka-thunk-ka-thud-ka-thunk-ka-thud-ka-t hunk-ka-thud' that just goes and goes until you can rush over and readjust the heavy, wet clothes? Well, that's happening in the walls. When I...

We hit Costa Rica, our last destination, with only 2 weeks left and headed straight for the Arenal Volcano. We were greeted by Mr Lava-Lava and taken to the hostel where we bumped into 2 other english gappers - Nat and Fred. The 5 of us spent the evening watching red hot lava flow down the volcano and then went on for a dip in the thermal pools ...

When I went, the eco-tourism industry was just beginning to be known in the U.S. I did a lot of rafting, hiking, snorkeling, and swinging through tree canopies.

Up early and caught a bus to San Jose determined to do a bungee jump with "www.tropicalbungee.com" outside of SJ. The bus driver knew the site just off the Pan Am highway and dropped me off there. I connected with Carlos who conducted the jumps. Signed waiver and paid via Visa and walked to the bridge. It was a seldom used but sturdy bridge over...
