Breasts and Swords in Costa Rica.

If I were to be killed by someone, then perhaps this young female warrior would be an honorable death for me. San Jose, Costa Rica is a very sexually energized city "you can feel the pulse of the city" walking around. The women dress very scantily and the cruel sex trade is behind closed doors. This statue is in San Jose, Costa Rica. It was rather sad for me one night … [Read more...] about Breasts and Swords in Costa Rica.

I witnessed a kid snatch … [Read more...] about Playa del Coco (Costa Rica)
