Days 1 and 2

Elizabeth and I visited Costa Rica for two weeks. This is the first two days of that trip. We flew from Austin (me) and St. Louis (Elizabeth) to Dallas/Fort Worth, then flew to Juan Santamaría. We stayed overnight with my friend Kelly, and she took us to the University for Peace and around downtown San José.

From the <a href="http://www.upeace.org/pdf/Charter.pdf">University for Peace charter</a> [PDF]: "The University is established with a clear determination to provide humanity with an international institution of higher education for peace and with the aim of promoting among all human beings the spirit of understanding, tolerance and peaceful coexistence, to stimulate cooperation among peoples and to help lessen obstacles and threats to world peace and progress, in keeping with the noble aspirations proclaimed in the Charter of the United Nations."
