On December 15, 2012, we were able to go to the Annual Festival de la Luz in Costa Rica. This is one of the biggest parades in San Jose. We had about a group of 20 students and kids and family members trek down on the bus, then take a special train to La Sabana to see all the hoopla.
We found a great spot near the beginning of the parade and got to sit down on the grass for the whole thing. Although we missed out on some of the bands, and other acts, we were able to see the floats up close and personal! Which was fine with me!
All in all, we had a great night and it was fun to hang out with the other students and to be a part of the culture in San Jose!
Enjoy the photos!
