Observations from Quepos

  • bathrooms are western style but Quepos does not have good plumbing so we cannot put TP down the toilet – just like China
  • they love their fireworks here. They set them off throughout the night and where ever they want to (middle of street)
  • there is no EPA and the car/bus exhaust really gets to you after awhile
  • I have been told not to swim in the waters off Quepos for the sewage supposedly dumps right into the water. Instead, we should go to Manuel Antonio.
  • City buses are pretty good and cheap, but very crowded (sorry, have not seen chickens on the bus yet)
  • for the most part, the people here dress just like americans – for some reason I got the impression that it wold be more ‘conservative’
  • just because it is an internet cafe does not mean the internet connection will work
  • power and water loss are a common occurrence
  • lots of stray dogs
  • sidewalks do not need to be at consistent heights or be reachable from the road
