Bus System

The buses are new and cheap. Only $4 for a two and a half hour ride from San Jose to Limon. 148 kilometers. My first world versus the third world conflict happened on the next bus ride from Limon to Cahuita. The tickets have seat numbers. A Local was in my seat. It was standing room only. He said that those numbers don't mean anything. I leaned over him and asked him to check the assignment on his ticket. He moved after grumbling something in a language I don't understand. I think it was Spanish.

Every bus station has a dog or two. It is as if they are required by some cat abatment law. I've never seen one move either. The apparent dog penis is his/her other hind leg for those of you who are wondering.
