....many, many years ago and I can verify the sights were something to behold.

Leo: I went to San Jose with a group of guys. One of them traveled there frequently and he befriended a local who owned a passenger van. He picked us up at the airport, took us to our hotel and then we traveled to various places in C.R. in the van at a very cheap $ amount for the whole day. With your charm I am sure you can find a local hanging around outside your hotel who will take you everywhere you want to go for a reasonable fee for the day. Good Luck on your trip. Chuck T.
