Enjoying the Finale

Here we are on our next to last day of Costa Rica. Laura & Neil have been with us since last Friday, and we have really enjoyed them-- taking them to our favorite places in paradise. Sometimes that is somewhat difficult due to the need to do activities in the AM because of the inevitable rain in the PM. They are getting their fill of typical Tico food. Jim has become addicted to the local 'casada'. Yesterday we took in the festival at San Ramon for the patron saint. They had the big parade today, but there were plenty of revelers yesterday. It was fun for a while, then we left to eat at our new favorite restaurant -- Il Pomodora. Italian entree names with Spanish subtitles on the menu-- does no good for us! We enjoyed the attention of a very attentive & comical Italian waiter, so it was fun, too-- & excellent food.
Laura & Neil will fly back to Dallas tomorrow morning, & we will leave around noon. We are distributing our left-over 'stuff' to friends today! Lots of wonderful memories here, but we NEED to be home!
