La Fortuna, Costa Rica
|
The highway into town was modest
|
Souvenir shops stood opposite a town park
|
The park was lined with wavy benches to discourage sleep
|
Grassy areas created comfortable places to sit
|
Bush covered arches let into and out of the park
|
A path for joggers wound through lush growth
|
The church steeple vainly tried to out-tower the volcano
|
A fountain provided a fine place to loiter
|
They sat on a bench in the park just to talk
|
Pay phones were still plentiful
|
The corner store was open
|
Tourist shops were tucked in everywhere
|
A gas station stood at the end of town
|
Bars there were open to the outside
|
Side streets were crowded with parked cars
|
Lots of pedestrians and insufficient sidewalks
|
Bimbo brand bread
|
Double decker shops were available with parking
|
A man sold fruit off the back of his truck
|
He searched for change at the checkout counter
|
Japanese cartoons in Spanish at the local Soda (Café)
|
Actual sodas for sale in the local Soda (Café)
|
Examples of the kind of souvenirs that were for sale
|
A home improvement store was at the end of a side street
|
In the afternoon heat, hanging out was a common sight
|
Looking in at the town from its edge
|
A hotel with lots of bicycle parking
