Costa Rica: Day 1 - The Arrival

Saturday morning, I arrived in San Jose, Costa Rica.  Even with the aid of a sleeping pill, I could not for the life of me sleep on the airplane.  I initially had my brief culture shock of "what the heck am I doing?"  However, that subsided a little bit when I noticed how similar San Jose was to certain parts of Los Angeles.  Literally when I was walking around San Jose, I felt like I was in the Fashion District in Los Angeles just how the markets were.  The fact that everyone spoke Spanish?  Also not too different.  Anyway, since for the most part I just chilled around, took a nap, and later ate at a restaurant.  To the right is a picture of the hotel where I took my nap and spent my first night.  :)
