Sunday (Sept. 20) I met up with new buds Elena Ross, Diane Hunter & Iris for a spin at the FUNNEST THING in Sabana Park - riding a SEGWAY!!!!

First off, in the 5 years I've been coming to Costa Rica & living here - I'd NEVER actually gone INSIDE of Sabana Park!!

I'd seen SEGWAYs in Sarasota, FL & San Diego & had REALLY wanted to do them but in the States, they're often around $100 - out of my budget so when Chappell & her daughter Tammy gave us the opportunity to take a sample spin on the Segway I JUMPED on it in a heartbeat!!

I was AWESOME FUN for EVERYONE (over 8) on these eco-friendly electric scooters!!! & EASY!!! I was concerned since, as many of you know, I'm not to stable just walking - but it was a BREEZE!!!!

Sebastian was our Guide EXTRAORDINAIRE!! He spoke good English & was FUN!!!

It's the BEST (& laziest) way to see Sabana Park - Costa Rica's version of Central or Golden Gate Park that's had LOTS of improvements like a new Roller Skating Rink & the new Power Aide Jogging Trails plus all the other FUN in the park like Kite Flying, horseback riding, the mini-Zip Line/Canopy Tour (GREAT for someone unsure if they can handle it!!), the lake, LOTS of sports being played & picnicing & various other things happening (LOTS of concerts/events). In Feb. the Museo de Arte Costarricense should be re-opening!!


This is a TOTAL MUST CHECK OUT this TOTALLY FUN activity!! Get a group of friends/family together to do a Day in the Park!! (they have a picnic table right in front).
