Yes, I know, it\u2019s a bit idealistic, and yes, I\u2019m aware that my idea is far from original. Many of us dream of a world without so many geopolitical limitations. The truth is, though, this is merely a fantasy. There are divisions and limits across every piece of land we call a country.<\/p>\n<p>So, back to reality\u2014I\u2019m Venezuelan and have had temporary residency in Costa Rica for almost two years now. But like every utopian dream, there\u2019s a way to escape, a valve that allows you to blend a little fantasy with reality so you don\u2019t lose it entirely. For me, that valve is traveling\u2014especially traveling by land, with that mix of excitement and a little anxiety, knowing that now you\u2019re in one country and, just a step (or five meters) later, you\u2019re in another.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3453\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3453\" style=\"width: 996px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/solkes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/1605_01-5-1.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3453\" src=\"https:\/\/solkes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/1605_01-5-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"996\" height=\"601\" srcset=\"https:\/\/solkes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/1605_01-5-1.jpg 996w, https:\/\/solkes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/1605_01-5-1-300x181.jpg 300w, https:\/\/solkes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/1605_01-5-1-768x463.jpg 768w, https:\/\/solkes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/1605_01-5-1-320x193.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 996px) 100vw, 996px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3453\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jes\u00fas Alejandro S\u00e1nchez \u00a9 Solkes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I must confess that my escape valve was nearly another utopian dream. For many reasons\u2014some legitimate, others more like excuses\u2014I\u2019d never done it until now. To be honest, I\u2019ve traveled very little internationally, but I set out to change that a few years ago.<\/p>\n<p>As an immigrant, I carry emotional debts tied to my country, my family, and my people. My parents are in Venezuela, along with most of my family, while my brother, his wife, and daughters now live in Panama. So, it\u2019s no surprise that for our first vacation since moving to Costa Rica, I came up with the brilliant (and I mean that without sarcasm) idea of traveling to Panama\u2014and doing it by land. But wait! I can\u2019t continue without first telling you about the two weeks leading up to our trip: preparing the car, our almost-3-year-old daughter, my husband, and ourselves for a journey of approximately 15 hours to Panama City.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #138a8d;\"><strong>My Parents Arrive<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>My parents arrived in Panama on October 14, and on the 16th, my daughter, husband, and I eagerly welcomed them at Juan Santamar\u00eda International Airport in Alajuela, Costa Rica. They planned to spend two weeks with us before heading to my brother\u2019s house for another two. Our plan was to join them in Panama for a couple of weeks of family sightseeing.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3190\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3190\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/solkes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/1605_02-2-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-3190\" src=\"http:\/\/solkes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/1605_02-2-300x482.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"482\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3190\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jes\u00fas Alejandro S\u00e1nchez \u00a9 Solkes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>My parents are an adorable elderly couple\u2014my mom is 74, and my dad just turned 82 here. Despite their health issues and tired bodies, they gathered the courage to take not one but two flights to visit their children and grandchildren. With them, we couldn\u2019t plan any grand adventures, so we embraced the Costa Rican &#8220;Pura Vida&#8221; lifestyle: relaxed, unhurried, and safe.<\/p>\n<p>Our first stop was Juan Mora Fern\u00e1ndez Plaza in downtown San Jos\u00e9, where we bought a bag of corn and enjoyed watching our little one feed the pigeons. The scorching sun quickly drained my parents\u2019 energy. Next to the plaza stands the National Theater, a Neoclassical architectural gem inaugurated in 1897. Its lobby houses a small caf\u00e9 and gift shop.<\/p>\n<p>Mindful of the sun\u2019s toll on my parents, I suggested we step inside for a coffee and a breather. Unfortunately, the heat had already taken its toll on my mom, who experienced a sharp drop in blood pressure that scared us for what felt like an eternity.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3191\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3191\" style=\"width: 996px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/solkes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/1605_03-1-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3191\" src=\"https:\/\/solkes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/1605_03-1-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"996\" height=\"601\" srcset=\"https:\/\/solkes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/1605_03-1-1.jpg 996w, https:\/\/solkes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/1605_03-1-1-300x181.jpg 300w, https:\/\/solkes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/1605_03-1-1-768x463.jpg 768w, https:\/\/solkes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/1605_03-1-1-320x193.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 996px) 100vw, 996px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3191\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jes\u00fas Alejandro S\u00e1nchez \u00a9 Solkes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>After the scare, we decided to stay in the car, enjoying the air conditioning, and headed toward Po\u00e1s Volcano. We didn\u2019t plan to reach the summit, as it\u2019s a demanding activity and we\u2019d had enough excitement for one day. Still, the journey to Po\u00e1s is worth it for the scenery alone: lush vegetation, clean air, and stunning views.<\/p>\n<p>Along the way, we stopped in Poasito. The cool mountain weather and light rain were a welcome contrast to San Jos\u00e9\u2019s intense heat. We bought souvenirs, enjoyed fresh strawberries, and indulged in palmito cheese, which reminded us of Venezuelan cheese. After that bittersweet day, we adjusted our plans to focus on a more laid-back \u201csenior-friendly\u201d tourism style.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #138a8d;\"><strong>Exploring Costa Rica<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The following weekend, we explored small towns in Costa Rica\u2019s Greater Metropolitan Area. We visited Santo Domingo de Heredia, where we relaxed in its Central Plaza, entered the Church of Our Lady of the Rosary, and admired the Basilica Santo Domingo de Guzm\u00e1n, declared an architectural heritage site in 2013.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3192\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3192\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/solkes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/1605_04-2-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-3192\" src=\"http:\/\/solkes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/1605_04-2-300x482.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"482\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3192\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jes\u00fas Alejandro S\u00e1nchez \u00a9 Solkes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The next day, we headed to Cartago, driving up toward Iraz\u00fa Volcano. The views, farmland, and small community of Cot were a delight. We later descended into Cartago\u2019s city center to visit the Basilica of Our Lady of the Angels, built in 1912 in a Byzantine style with Romanesque influences. It\u2019s the main religious pilgrimage site in Costa Rica.<\/p>\n<p>By the end of our tour, hunger struck, and we stopped at a humble restaurant near the basilica. To our surprise, it served one of the best pizzas we\u2019ve had during our nearly two years in Costa Rica.<\/p>\n<p>Our time with my parents was filled with love, quality moments, and mutual pampering. Though we didn\u2019t embark on grand adventures, we created cherished memories. They were enchanted by the simplicity and peace of Costa Rican life, and we were grateful to show them love and care in person after two years of virtual hugs and kisses.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #138a8d;\"><strong>Farewell and a New Journey<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>On October 29, my parents left for Panama. My daughter and I bid them goodbye at the airport without tears or long farewells, knowing we\u2019d join them the next day by land. We still had 12 days to enjoy each other\u2019s company, this time with my brother and his family.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3193\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3193\" style=\"width: 996px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/solkes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/1605_05-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3193 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/solkes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/1605_05-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"996\" height=\"601\" srcset=\"https:\/\/solkes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/1605_05-2.jpg 996w, https:\/\/solkes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/1605_05-2-300x181.jpg 300w, https:\/\/solkes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/1605_05-2-768x463.jpg 768w, https:\/\/solkes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/1605_05-2-320x193.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 996px) 100vw, 996px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3193\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jes\u00fas Alejandro S\u00e1nchez \u00a9 Solkes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"color: #138a8d;\">I<\/span>t was time to finish packing, load the car, double-check our daughter\u2019s and vehicle\u2019s travel documents, and rest for the long road ahead.
