Day 2 Escazu

Well we took it reeeeaaally easy today. The only things we got accomplished was Escazu downtown for lunch and Walmart. Sounds pretty exciting, no? It was. We did not get lost! Well maybe once quickly. We managed to order food (thanks to the pictures on the menu), Max put on a show and we board a car seat, diapers, baby food and a Baguette with Cream Cheese.

Highlights:

• Great Breakfast
• Sasha slept for 3 hours this morning and Max and I played
• Driving in this crazy traffic without rushing
• Watching tons of school kids in Uniform getting off school and as Max mentioned "They get off early". It was around 12.15pm
• Having a long lunch break with a nice, famous Costa Rican 'Britt' coffee
• WARM SUMMER RAIN
• Beautiful People
• Max and Sasha were great today

Downside:

• Food and Walmart are almost as expensive as in the US (Car Seat was $100) and Lunch was $26 for 2 dishes, 2 soft drinks, a coffee, a sweet and a banana
• It gets dark at 6pm. Something I really need to get used to

Tomorrow I was hoping to have the guts to drive into San Jose again to either go to the Children's Museum of to the Teatro Nacional and the Native Costa Rican museum.

Planing our next step: Monteverde and La Fortuna

Pura Vida

Arriving In San Jose, Costa Rica

We made it!

Charlotte Airport

After a long trip (SFO-Charlotte-San Jose), lay over, dealing with a rental car agency, getting lost for our in San Jose and finding our Bed and Breakfast, we finally made it. It's around 24 Celcius (F76) and 71% Humidity.

Our Bed and Breakfast is very sweet. Casa Isabella in Escazu. If you ever need a place to stay after landing in Costa Rica, this is sweet. Patricia the owner speaks fluent English while being Costa Rican and she will be able to give you lots of insides. The rooms are spacious and the breakfast is great. A bowl of fresh cut fruit, eggs, sausage links and toast with either coffee or tea. She also makes sure that you receive a cell phone for your stay which is great. Internet in your room and TV with endless channels, some of them english. www.casaisabellacr.com The only thing is which was difficult, was to get here. Make sure you either contact her before your arrival or get a Taxi or she will also arrange for a pick up. Children are welcome! That was more or less our first day. Exhausting and tired we fell into bad at 8pm CR time. 7pm SFO time.
