Gary Glass > This is how the bulls get inside.
Gary Glass > I spent 12 days traveling in Costa Rica last November. The Costa Rican landscape is peppered with small villages. A typical village center has a church and a soccer field, and further out there is, not uncommonly, a large round cake of a building, a bull fighting arena.
Gary Glass > Near the restrooms behind the arena, one of the corrugated panels had been removed.
Gary Glass > I got the impression from a local informant that the arena was not much used any more, at least, not for bullfighting.

Gary Glass > The corrals are a maze of posts and planks.
Gary Glass > Everyone who has been there will tell you Costa Rica is a beautiful country. Although I took around 500 pictures while I was there, I didn't feel particularly inspired. I think I was just too busy relaxing. However, towards the end of my visit, I spent a couple of days at a hotel in Monteverdi, and there was a bullring nearby. It captured my attention, and I visited it a couple of times to get these photos.
