Sólo en Costa Rica (Only In Costa Rica)
I may have only spent a week in Costa Rica but my coworker (who is a lifelong resident) has made me an honorary Tico. She is my favorite Central American employee and loves to share stories with me about what goes on in CR. What I mean is the kind of stories that make the locals shake their head and laugh, because what else can you do?
Today she shared a photo and a link to the Facebook page Sólo in Costa Rica. This is a page by Ticos and for Ticos. Photos are submitted from around the country. The page is all in Spanish and even if you don’t understand the language, you’ll get a laugh from the photos. (that said, some of the comments are priceless)
Here is but a small sampling:
This the photo that she sent to me this morning with the comment:
Look this picture, those cows are resting in the main door of a Bank in Alajuela downtown! Only in Costa Rica can happen those things.
I suggested maybe someone was making a deposit? *cue the laugh track*
And then there is this one. The folks who posted it suggested maybe this is the CR way of recycling?
The comment here asks “What, is this for tying their horse?”
This one came with the caption “Gordo, where did you leave the eggs?” Yipes!
And finally, my favorite by far. It was suggested that this is the Costa Rican entry to the world of abstract art. It’s very Salvador Dali meets asphalt.
All of these and way, way more can be found on the Sólo in Costa Rica Facebook page.
¡Pura vida! and Happy Friday.
