Creator's Key Takeaways

we are in Costa Rica and we are neighboring Nicaragua there's the ship and the sidewalk is still going on down here

the prices seemed a little high and a little uh I don't know extreme they highs and lows you know one guy wanted 40 for a bowl and the other guy wanted 70 for the same Bowl

it's a nice city I wish we had more than 3 hours probably sit down and have some beer and eat didn't buy anything though

we didn't do a lot we saw some things it's a nice city
