I'm visiting a country that is one of only 18 in the world which doesn't have a standing military. (Costa Rica was actually the first country to abolish its military back in 1948). It does, however, have a Peace Army! Costa Rica is unique in the way that its Foreign Policy is rooted in the development of democracy and respect for human rights.The little yellow line is the route from San Jose to my destination. I won't be blogging while I am there, but I will be taking notes on how it feels to be in a military-less country. Full report when I return.
