"Scene" Along the Way

.


Climb in the bus with us, and watch through the windows as we pass through Costa Rica. You'll KNOW we are on the bus, 'cause you'll see "bus parts" in most of the photos.

Enjoy.

Not to worry - - - these "head-on" collisions never did materialize.

Stop didn't always mean stop. Yield didn't always mean yield. Red often meant go. And yet - - - we didn't see any collisions.










We did get off the bus at this look-out point.

Some of it metal,
Some not,

All of it blue,
Yes quite a lot!!!
