San Jose

Visited San Jose this morning... had only about 2 hrs at the capital since I had to get back by noon for my 2nd day of classes. Saw the Teatro Nacional - Costa Rica´s beautiful National Theater. The interior reminds me of the Paris Opera House - just as ornate but much smaller.

I also visited the Museo d´Oro or the Museum of Gold... this was a really good museum - it gave a detailed history of the indigenous people, history, and their arts with lots of examples of gold pieces. Unfortunately, I was allowed to bring a camera into the museum.

Below is a short video of the Teatro Nacional:
