Ask any Tico for directions and you will get a poem.
Check this one out:
Where the Post Office Is
By Fat Guy Wearing Stripes
When you reach the bottom of the hill
Take a left where the blue house used to be
Follow that road until you get to the old cemetery
Be careful because the road is tricky
Keep to your left until you see the old road to San Rafael
Then turn where the mango tree used to be
Continue straight after you cross the abandoned banana rail road tracks
On the side where Don Fabricio’s barber shop used to be
You will find it.
I ran out of gas that day but I was quite entertained for a while, seeing Costa Rica through the eyes of a local – like following a dream.
