The Central Market

Part of yesterdays fun in San Jose was the Central Market. You can get lost in there--literally! It takes up about 1 square blocks & inside is divided into different sections. Whats cool about it is that Ticos shop there, so its not all touristy stuff. There was everything from typical piggy banks (a HUGE thing here) and coffee, chicken feet and fish heads, garbage pails and plates. There were tons of sodas (food stands) and even pet stores. Granted, there were chicks and chickens in them, but they also had birds and dogs. It was definitely an experience! Ill be going back for sure before my trip home to stock up on some goods :)

Note: these pictures do the actual size, wonder & excitement of the market NO JUSTICE!

These piggy banks are ALL over.

All sizes & colors. Some you can even paint on your own.

Ticos save money in them all year & wait until December to crack them open.
