Walking at decent pace...

And I walk at a forced march pace!

you must walk at a forced pace if you can make it to the Taomina in 8 minutes. It's more like a run

Zeos said 8 minutes. It's 600m. Not even a kilometer.

An adult in decent shape should be able to walk a mile in 20 minutes (flat ground). Doing the math, that's about 8 minutes to walk 600m.

That's at a 'normal' walking pace - not race walking or any of that nonsense. I do walk fast - a hold over of my old life (I was on the rucksack marching team at the University of Pineland ).

Now that assumes the walker isn't overweight, smoking like a chimney, using a walker (or a Rascal), dragging an oxygen tank and so on.

Or light headed from too much vitamin V. Or hung over.

I walk it at night....and since you go through tranny alley I move along at a good pace...lol

I agree a person in decent shape can walk a mile between 15-20 minutes. That is based a flat surface with no traffic.to go the SL you have to pass Ave. 3&5 which usually has traffic and is up hill. Now if you can make it the Taorima in 8 minutes and you are the DL and I'm at the Taorima I will bet you that you can not walk that in 8 minutes at your pace.

Any hotels in the area guest friendly with a pool?

Cant think of any around the gulch. Problem is that an unheated pool in san jose is pretty chilly. El Sesteo i think that is the name of the place , has a pool. It is located fairly close to the gulch in sabana del sur. South of the sabana park.
Its lots warmer west of san jose around santa ana, more pools there.

are pool heaters a million dollars in CR or something?
they figured out jacuzzis
never did find a heated pool anywhere in that country

A lot of homes in CR don’t have hot water let alone the pools. Tica’s/Tico’s don’t mind the cold water in pools. I enjoy watching the Chicas get out of the cold pool. Nipples hard as rocks

I like the hard nipples as well. Just wanted to answer that one out of respect.

Anyway, on the subject of walking.. like specifically around the area of La Amistad where I stayed in August. I was walking in that area, looking for a place to buy beer, soap, etc.. and man, I wasn't used to the strange way that the traffic signals were angled in such a weird way that it's hard for pedestrians to see the light.

Several times, I just went for it because I saw cars stopped.. But I didn't even know that they were stopped because of a red light, because I didn't see the signal myself. I thought there were stopped because there was a costa rican rule that if they see a pedesterian, they just stop and let you cross if you need to.

So I did the leap across the street, several times, without knowing if the cars were go about to go again.

I was on the airplane on the way back, in deep gratitude that my luck was on my ignorant, San Jose-newbie side those 2 days.

Be very, very careful in San Jose walking around. There is no law in Costa Rica that the drivers have to wait for pedestrians to cross like in California. In fact, I think that the national sport is to try to run over gringos. i have had several close calls where I was almost road pizza. I really don't jaywalk anymore (much). The best way is to use the other ticos at the crosswalks to run interference for you. Actually some of the nice drivers will wave you across, but that is the exception.
