Trip to Quepos

We made an excursion to the seat of our Canton (like a county) to pay our annual property tax and do a few chores. It is so wonderful that we can now get there in less than 30 minutes on a smooth fast road. We thought an actual paved road would never be available here.

In the Muni office I took a photo of this Portal. I was surprised to see it still in place now at the end of January. It is common to see these Portals (nativity scenes) in public places and private homes through the Christmas season. The Costa Ricans must leaves them up through January.  Some are really elaborate with secular objects, like a toy airplane, in addition to the standard religious character. This one is traditional.
