it&#8217;s on a coffee plantation. it&#8217;s like portola valley, ca&#8230;.only with more incredible views (i.e.&#8211; the city, a volcano, etc). they also have dogs, a soccer field, fruit trees and a horse here. pretty sweet, eh?<br \/>\nwell, today i head off to san jose to track down shipping agencies for the sentra. luckily, santi works for a gps startup&#8230;so i&#8217;m using their product to guide me around the city. navsat is putting together innovative software for gps devices that is tailored to costa rica (remember, costa rica doesn&#8217;t have many addresses&#8230;.instead they use landmarks&#8230;.like the old fig tree, or the cafe britt factory).<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-304 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/sentradiaries.com\/blog\/153073\/driving_to_poas\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/sentradiaries.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/driving_to_poas-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-305\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-305'>\n\t\t\t\tdriving to poas\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/sentradiaries.com\/blog\/153073\/muffler_trunk\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/sentradiaries.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/muffler_trunk-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-306\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-306'>\n\t\t\t\tthat doesn&#8217;t belong in my trunk!\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl>\n\t\t\t<br style='clear: both' \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>the last couple days have been long, but good&#8230;i guess they&#8217;ve been like a nice weekend from my vacation. saturday morning i drove around san jose a bit (escazul and rohrsmoser). highlights included a small street market selling produce and replacing some girl&#8217;s flat tire. perhaps the best part of the day, though, was not [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-304","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sentradiaries.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/304","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sentradiaries.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sentradiaries.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sentradiaries.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sentradiaries.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=304"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/sentradiaries.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/304\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":307,"href":"https:\/\/sentradiaries.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/304\/revisions\/307"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sentradiaries.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=304"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sentradiaries.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=304"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sentradiaries.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=304"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
