Costa Rica - Issue #1
Now is the issue where we generate interest in the team and introduce the players. But in typical rip-off fashion, Costa Rica Force X-Fantastivengers Issue #1 (19 covers! COLLECT 'EM ALL (tm) !!!) will not even remotely resemble the rest of the series nor will it contain any of the same characters that will carry the series later on. Well, okay, it'll have one main character, but that's just the hot chick who doesn't actually do much fighting, she's just eye candy and brains.
On with the Issue Number One!
Alex Webb-ian blue, but from a car. Our ride through San Jose from the airport to the hostel was courtesy of Jerry and his crew, a bunch of emergency room folks from the Baltimore area we met on the flight, staying about three blocks away from our hostel.
Charlie's Chocolate Factory, San Jose office.
'By Far The Creepiest Image I've Ever Seen' official award winner, part of the Don't Rape Our Children campaign. Anywhere tourists were likely to be, DROC campaign posters were plentiful, but none out-creeped this poster, hanging on the wall of our hostel.
Sunset from the laundry area out back of the hostel.
Our first night out on the town. Telephones are cool. So are shady businesses with cool colored walls.
After a dinner where it really hit us that we didn't stand a chance of getting by without some help, we found a bookstore near the university and bought a Spanish-English dictionary. Then we wandered through the back streets checking out the nightlife and looking things up in the dictionary.
We stopped at Spoon, a little cafe near our hostel, and had dessert at the end of the evening. Even little cafes in San Jose have armed guards (center), traffic directors (right) and guys who throw signs and act a fool when someone has a camera (left).
