We're on the road to nowhere...

A massive road project is underway here on the Osa Peninsula. The roadsides have been torn to pieces, and what used to be a rocky old country track of a road (with more potholes than you could shake a stick at) is fast being converted into what's beginning to look like an interstate highway!

The poor people whose houses are beside the road have been buried there, as the level of the new road continues to rise. As if it were bad enough to have already had a drainage channel dug across their front yards! This image shows one of the houses on the approach to the Rincon bridge, heading for home. So, looks like it's rope ladders all round!

In this image, you can see just how much the level has changed.

Great for sliding down!

The late afternoon sun catches tall grasses on the banks of the River Rincon.
