The week they were here was by far the most fun week I've had so far in Costa Rica. We went to two museums (one of which was a new one for me) and went to visit La Fortuna/Arenal volcano, which I've wanted to do for a long time. I also showed them Máximo and where I live in Vargas Araya. They stayed about 15 minutes away from work, in a great part of the city called Los Yoses. A lot of embassies are there, and the neighborhoods and restaurants all have a more European flair.
They arrived on a Tuesday night, so I went to have dinner with them after work at 9. The next day we walked from my house to Maximo and we booked a couple of tours and our weekend in La Fortuna/Arenal. They got to meet most of my co-workers and the international team, and then I showed them the university campus. Thursday we went to have lunch with my roommate at this great little Cajun/BBQ (Costa Rican style, of course). After that, we went to the National Museum, which I had been to before five years earlier when I studied at UCR.
I hadn't seen the butterfly house that was added a few years ago.
We then went to the Gold Museum, which was a new experience for me and probably my favorite museum in San Jose so far!
