What To Do When There’s Nothing to Do
What do you do on a lonely evening in Costa Rica? Go to the fair!!! But with lots and lots of caution.
Chances are there will be a local fair in some little town along the way to your destination. Unless, of course, you are traveling during holiday season or on some obscure catholic saint day, you will find one in every town. And even though you might think there’s tons of stuff to do while traveling, don’t overlook this little treasure trove of local blending.
But like I said, be very wary of the rides and the food.
This is the typical ride, it will have at least one major component missing. Since I have a toddler, it’s difficult to avoid a ride, so getting him on a baby ride isn’t as dangerous as an adult ride.
The average rollercoaster, freefalling amusement ride is well over 15 years donated to these countries from the US fairgrounds of lost and forgotten rides. The owners, being businessmen, reap in big tax benefits by their generosity failing to mention the real state of the ride.
However, the excitement in the air, extra loud music, and bright lights will keep any aged kid stimulated!
Note: I wouldn’t recommend the food for kids. Normally the people serving it serve the food with the same hands they take the money, clean their noses, wipe their sweaty brows and clean the counters.
