Today, we took a trip to Tamarindo, a very touristy town with a gorgeous beach. The grandkiddos wanted to collect shells; photos to be posted later. What I'd like to share on this post is the adventure of driving in Costa Rica. The roads are narrow and only two-lane. There are all ages of people walking or biking on the sides of the roads. Several bikes have two or three people on them. There are motocycles, ATVs, big and small trucks and cars coming your way and or following you. As one person we met said, "It's like driving on the roads with drunk teenagers." The best part is that the drivers almost always pass on double yellow lines. Here are some photos of the Ticos que vuelven loco (Ticos who drive crazy) and others on the road :D.

The ones that make me the most nervous are the mama's with baby's who are less than 1 year in the basket on the handle bars or 3 or 4 year olds, riding side-saddle on the cross bar - just balancing there... all relaxed and mellow... oh and the big kids who ride each other on their handle bars! Dave and I said, "if our kids did that with each other, we'd take their bikes away!"
