Costa Rica for the day.

A friend just returned from a trip through Costa Rica -- a place I, too, would like to see first hand. These pictures stood out to me, among the 200 or so that were forwarded my way, for their composition and intrigue. I've never seen coffee beans before roasting, for instance. And that truck looks like something one might see in a Claire Denis movie. My hope is this small selection does not make my friends' trip, our the country itself, look too precious. These are just a stranger's impressions; it's as simple as that. --RWK
