San Jose








Yesterday, my mom and I took a tour through the city of San Jose. It was a pretty interesting trip but to be honest, it was hard for the city to kindle my interest after seeing all of the grand cities in Spain. Despite this fact, we still had a good time wandering San Jose. During our trip we visited a few different attractions. One was the Museo de Oro Precolombino, famous for the largest collection of pre-Columbian gold jewelry in Central America. It also had an amazing variety of coins used by the indigenous people of Costa Rica to the present time. Another was El Teatro Popular Melico Salazar which I found very interesting. It was a "classic" theater with hundreds of seats on the floor and with two balconies offering even more chairs. It is by far the most ornate theater in all of Costa Rica. Almost everything was handmade with beautiful  materials imported from France and Italy, including the steps, railings, balconies and more. Que Magnifico!

Ayer, mi mama y yo hicimos una gira por la ciudad de San Jose. Fue bastante interesante pero, para ser honesto, no era como las ciudades en Espana. A pesar de esto nos divertimos mucho andando. Durante nuestro viaje, visitamos algunas atracciones diferentes. Una fue el Museo de Oro Precolombino el cual es famoso por su gran cantidad de figuras de oro. Tambien visitamos el Teatro Nacional. Yo pense que este es muy interesante. Era un teatro clasico con muchas butacas en el primer piso y tambien hay otras en los balcones. Casi toda esta hecho a mano incluyendo los escalones, los balcones, las barandillas, etc. Que magnifico!
