Going home: Costa Rica

It had been three years since I last had a sip of coffee in Costa Rica or felt the Caribbean sand and water underneath my feet. Three years since I saw my friends and family. It was time to go back home. Two years ago, Costa Rica held its presidential election. In the U.S., news about the army-free Central American country came in batches of negativity. The stories I heard were of a divided Costa Rica, torn apart by politics and religion. Deep inside, I feared to find my country transformed into a different place.

À Prusia - Old fashioned walk

The weather gets cooler as we head North on the road that leads to the Irazú volcano. We don’t drive all the way up there; we stop on the road to glance down… a beautiful view of Cartago. It’s windy, but the yellow flowers bring warmth into the picture. After that, we decide to go to Prusia. It’s “unknown territory” for us and we’re a bit doubtful about being able to get there, after reading a review that recommends a 4x4 vehicle.
