Ben and I arrived in San Jose, Costa Rica and have spent the past few days exploring. In between noisy traffic and concrete infrastructure, this city hides a sprawling art gallery. It seems that no matter where you look, there is a colorful mural nearby. Some pictures are beautiful, others are thought provoking, but mostly these paintings seem to serve the sole purpose of adding color to an otherwise drab city. My favorites are the completely cartoonish and bizarre murals. These paintings look like they were created just because the artists had fun making them. The pictures liven up the city and bring a sense of playfulness out of the imagination and onto the sidewalk.
