Daily Dose of Art -- February 8, 2011

I met this woman on the streets of San Jose, Costa Rica on August 17, 2010. I wish I knew her name but I was unable to find out much about her. She is a homeless woman whom two friend and I ran into after a little while of exploring the neighborhood. I tried to ask her name and what she was up to, but the only response I got was that she wanted my cheeseburger I was holding in my hand and some other jumbled phrases I couldn't make out. Before I handed over the sandwich, I tried to get to know her a bit, but I later found out she was mentally unstable and/or high on drugs because she kept repeating broken words and phrases that didn't make any sense like 'Monkey!' I willingly gave her my sandwich as long as she let me take a picture of her, which she did. She really is a sweet woman, I just wish I was able to hear her story more.
