There aren’t any addresses in Costa Rica, everything is in reference to landmarks or other buildings. Things seemed a bit off the last few days, but it didn’t really set in until we were booking our COVID tests to return home. The testing site is on Rohrmoser street just down from Scotiabank. It doesn’t show up on Google maps, but their website says it definitely exists and they’ll send the full address after you schedule and pay. As promised, the email says it’s 150 meters west of Scotiabank on Rohrmoser. At least the street has a name, not all of them do. We saw a long line outside the Post Office, apparently you go there to get mail in a land of no addresses.
We went to the Jade Museum yesterday, which I would put among the top museums in the world. It was surprisingly wonderful. Key fact: people have been drawing and carving funny faces since at least 1000 BC.
Today we went to the Children’s Museum. The building used to be a prison, and from the looks of it, former inmates live on the streets all around it. We knew this was not going to be a zip lining resort trip, but the walk in felt borderline unsafe - to the Children’s Museum of all places.
Since we survived the perp walk, we celebrated with a trip to the pool at the apartment. It’s a really lovely pool if you’re a penguin in Antarctica.
