The other day we had an chance to head downtown to get an idea of the city that we live in. We are praying that God will move here in Costa Rica while we are here. 
This sculpture is called Quetzalcoatl. (It's a snake in the form of a pile of poop - look it up... that's really how the artist sculpted it).
This left picture is a coffee shop inside a busy market. And the right picture is a normal carneria. This is a picture of some pork spine.
And below is a picture of some workers at the ice cream shop POPS and a picture of the national theater.
This is one of the many beggars seen downtown. The locals will ask you NOT to give them money, since that is just empowering them to continue begging.
This is a very famous scultpure of a fat lady. While we were here, two little boys ran up and hugged her. Then they went around to the back side and stuck their faces between her cheeks. It was hilarious! I'm sure it was culturally relevant (like for good luck or something)!There are nut shops that make peanut butter, among other things.
This wagon is traditionally decorated (you can click on it to see it better); normally they would pull this in parades with coffee beans in them.
And lastly, just a nice picture of what the currency (the colon) looks like here in Costa Rica.
