Cartago and Orosi

We decided to go to Cartago today. It was the capital of Costa Rica a long time ago, before they switched to San Jose.

First, we decided to go to Orosi, a small town past Cartago. We got off the bus at a lookout and were disappointed to find out about all the things we couldn't do at this mountain-top park: roller blade, bicycle, and make "love scenes".

Now, in Orosi:

A town with garbage is a town without culture.

We should leave our children a cleaner future.

This church dates back a few hundred years.

Thanks to Jennifer for that sweet shot.








This cathedral, rebuilt in the early 1900's after an earthquake, is in Cartago. Thousands of Costa Ricans migrate here every August 2 to pray to La Negrita, the patron saint of Costa Rica.


Jennifer likes to bond with sacred statues.
