| Dancers and UNO students at Ram Luna |
This is oneof those times where all mydigital toys frustrate me. It was impossible last night to capture all that we saw at Ram Luna. I wish I could have captured the bus ride from our hotel, through rush hour traffic and a twisting and turning road to the top of a mountain to the restaurant. There were times when our driver had to take the whole road to make the hairpin turns and then he only just missed swiping one of the houses on the corner. Once atop the mountain, we knew the drive had been worth it. The view of the city laid out in the valley below us was spectacular. The widest angle lens could not have captured it. The restaurant was decorated in a traditional style with murals celebrating Costa Rica's coffee industry of the past. We drank local rum and beer while dining on an enormous variety of traditional dishes. After dinner we watched dancers demonstrate traditional folk dances and a few of our EMBA students even joined in. The clown dancers were some of the most unusal and you'd have to be there to fully appreciate why. We then went out on the patio for fireworks and a street celebration--here's where even my video couldn't capture the moonlight, the live band, the crazy clowns, the smell of sparklers and the twinkling lights.
