The next day we started our car trip to Poas Volcano, planning to see some sights on the way.
The drivers are aggressive, but polite and happy at the same time. It is rather "anything goes", but without the road rage. Johnny once commented that everyone is a friendly driver, and he couldn't understand why Costa Rica has a high traffic fatality rate. I could!
We made up a joke. In San Jose, the "Stop" signs ("Alto") often have arrows beneath them pointing right or left to show the direction of one way streets. But you would see people drive right through the intersections anyway. So I said that the arrows actually meant that there was GOING to be a REAL stop sign over that way...
