Years ago trains used to travel on these train tracks that were built to transport the bananas from one side of the country to the other. Nowadays the trains once again travel through these forgotten and heavily damaged train tracks but instead of moving produce they move people between the cities of Costa Rica.

On August 10th it was the first day in years that the train began traveling, this caused for many to line up to take a ride in the new trains. Here is a photo of the train station in the city of Heredia

Ok, so I know I’ve taken quite long to post anything on the blog let alone post the photos from the skateboarding tournament which took place a week ago but I really got to get better at getting the photos in and out faster than this but I’m getting there :)

A local supermarket is hosting the tournament at different locations around Costa Rica and anyone can sign up to participate. There are other companies that are joining the supermarket to sponsor the event and one of them is Arenas which is a local skate and surf shop.

Now on to the photos

There were guys from a wide range of ages participating on this tournament and they divided them into 3 categories which included the children then the semi-pro and the professional skaters and went in that order. Sadly only guys participated on the tournament itself though there were a lot of girls around with skateboards and sign up was open for everyone so I wonder why no girls came up and signed up?
