Manuel, our taxi driver dropped us off for the day in San Jose, to see the Jade Museum, then discovered the Cafe Mundo, Contemporary Art & Design Museum of Costa Rica, The National Theatre and the market of artisans with Sarah & Marc, in San Jose's historic section, really interesting architecture in this part of city. Fascinating stone work, wrought ironworks on gates, stamped impressions in sidewalks, building edifaces, design motifs in tiles, sculptures, colors, jewelry, and much of it all relates to nature's patterns. I have started to incorporate some of these elements in my paintings and it will develop as I work them into each one, each a journey. And this adventure continues.
Thursday, another day trip ride south of San Jose to Cartago area. Lancaster Botanical gardens with Bernarda, Sarah and Marc, to be continued....
