Museum, here we come !

Going to the Museo Nacional De Costa Rica was so interesting! It is the most important museum there. It is housed in the whitewashed Bellavista Fortress which was built in 1870. You can still see the bullet holes from their civil war back in 1948. My feet hurt from walking around the museum all day, but it was worth it! We got to see pre-Columbian artifacts, period dressed, colonial furniture, and religious arts and photographs. The whole museum is three stories and stores pre-Columbian gold jewelry that is the largest collection of its kind in Central America. I feel like my brain is on overload from learning so many interesting facts here! The museum gave us free lunch because they over booked the museum that day and everything was so hectic. It was so good, even though it was just sandwiches and chips. I'm glad we decided to go to the museum.
