Ox Cart

After the photos of the oxen that I have shown the last two days, it should not be a surprise that I am today posting a photo of yet another elaborately painted traditional Costa Rica ox cart.

On one of our trips that takes us to the San Jose area, we would like to make a side trip to Sarchi, which is the town where the tradition of highly stylized ox cart painting remains an art form today.

This week we are showing some additional photos from Ethiopia on our Viva la Voyage travel photo site.

    The bright colored patterns are wonderful. They might tempt me into a ride.
