Time to post a few pictures that might provide a context for where we live in San Ramon. We are about a twenty minute walk from the centre of town (two kilometers closer to the Pacific coastal port of Puntarenas where the cruise ships dock.) Although, San Ramon is only fifty kilometers Northeast of Puntarenas, the drive takes at least an hour as the highway is only one lane each way and wends its way up and down and around sharp curves. As it used by trucks bringing goods to and from the port, on steep hills, traffic can be almost at a stand still as lines of semis strain to climb and descend.
On my walk back home from the mall, I took a few photos of our barrio (Santiaguita): our neighbourhood as it looks from the highway, a large field, a tiny corner store just down the road, and Super Pro, the bicycle fabrication plant, at the bottom of our hill.
