At the center of most Costa Rican villages are two elements of the community: (1) a Catholic church, and (2) a football (soccer) field. Almost always, the church is located across the street from the football field, as is shown in this photo.On Sunday, many people attend church in the morning and then there is often a football game in the afternoon.
Tomorrow and on the days that follow, I will show another example of village life in the typical Costa Rican village in which I took these photos, about one hour inland (east) from Tamarindo.
We have photos of Dubrovnik on the Dalmatian Coast of Croatia this week on on our travel photo site, Viva la Voyage. It is a charming place and if you have not been there, you should enjoy the preview on our website.
Church services and sports event...obviously important to these villagers.
ReplyDeleteA very peaceful scene for this holiday week.
ReplyDeleteThis is a nice village scene.
ReplyDeleteWell, of course the church is across the street from the football field. The priest doesn't want to miss the game!
ReplyDeleteI enjoy your blog. Happy holidays.
