I Hate Tourists

The bus had to stop for a bit on the way to Monteverde from San Jose because the road had been damaged and a pathetic little work crew of four was patching it with a mixture of clay and rock. All the tourists got out of the bus to complain a lot about how the work wasn't getting done quickly enough. Then one of them had the bright idea to offer to help, providing an opportunity to take photos and act righteous. They gave the shovels back to the workmen rather quickly and continued being indignant despite the delay only lasting about thirty minutes. Apparently the industrious vacationers were just more efficient than the Ticos because everyone had been moaning about how the delay would take hours.
