It's Quite Different Here in Costa Rica - Driving and Parking



Here's a notice about driving and parking in Costa Rica: it's terrible.  Almost all of the roads are two lanes total, not each way (even in the city).  All day, it's bumper to bumper traffic.  And parking...  What a mess!  We drive a big Sequoia, and it's practically a truck.  Most people drive only small cars around here.  That means the parking spots are smaller.  Dad had to make about twenty turns before he got into the spot.  There was one turn when he was literally two inches from the car next to us.  Another complication is how all the roads in Costa Rica are twisty-turny.  Maybe you haven't noticed, but most of the roads in the U. S. are mostly strait, on a grid.  In Costa Rica, you have a place in mind, (or be very directionally gifted) or it's very hard to find your way around.  It is probably also caused by there being no road signs or addresses.
