Driving in Costa Rica - It's CRAY CRAY

A few months ago I was reading about driving in Costa Rica and felt a panic attack coming on...all I read was "drive slow, you never know what might be around the corner." Like a pot hole the size of your car. Or livestock.

Not to mention that there no shoulders and the lanes are quite narrow. When you round a corner, don't be surprised that you are about to run over a mother with her baby in a stroller and her 3yo all walking in your lane. 

In the past week, I've seen a few things that are kind of scary on the road. For example, when I was driving to pick up my friend Shawn from the airport on Thursday, this dump truck decided to dump gravel almost into the ditch but really a lot of it was on the road. Then he pulled his truck up into our lane and stopped, got out of the truck...and who knows what happened after that.

Then yesterday we followed a herd of cattle walking down the road.
