Miscellaneous Costa Rica

I spent four days exploring some of Costa Rica after the cruise was through.  I used San Jose as a base, though if I go again I will definitely stay outside the city.  I found San Jose to be a huge, crowded, crime-ridden city.  I also took advantage of some of the day tours which are popular there.  These tours varied a lot in quality. One was outstanding, one was quite bad, and the other was satisfactory.  The following pictures are not organized in any particular order.
