Monday, Feb 17. Toured the rather small but handsome 1897 National Opera House. Material imported from Italy. Artwork done in Italy, depicting incorrect Costa Rico landscapes. I took some nice photos of the statues. Then we meandered around the downtown while Catalina (our Trip Leader) talked about the country.

Lunch was fine. Spent some time at a shop that makes masks. Saw artwork that glorified oxen and agriculture. All in all, not much going on.
