We made it!
We're here! As always, the flight from Minnesota get into SJ late at night. We stayed at our usual place the first night...Hotel Brilla Sol in Alajuela. Without fail, the service is great and the place was perfect! We started our drive to the "zona" with a stop at Volcan Irazu. Fun! Cool misty and like moonscape. A drastic contrast to the CR …

Day 10
... The problem is that the country really doesn't have family doctors so for a lot of the women there, the Women's Hospital is the only place they can receive care.
