An Attempt at a Trip to Irazu Volcano

This weekend I stayed here in San Jose and yesterday some of took a trip to hike around Volcan Irazu. Luck was not out for us yesterday. We spent two hours trying to flag down a bus to take us to Cartago, the town close to the volcano.  Our Tico friend told us that is what we were supposed to do, but we came to find out we were not standing on a certain cement block meant to be a bus station! Eventually we were too frustrated to continue, and our Tico friend Carlos, had to drive back and pick us up. Finally we were on our way to the volcano, but by the time we got up there, they had closed for the day!! Talk about luckless! haha So we reluctantly turned around and headed back down the hill. We stopped at this soda (aka diner) and had an afternoon snack. On the way down the hill, we stopped several times to take photos of the absolutely stunning sunset. By far one of the most beautiful sunsets of my life!!!!
