Another day in El Pueblo, Atenas
Technical difficulties! Tried to write a post, but I keep getting errors so will try a copy and paste technique.
Another peaceful day...my favorite kind of day. Went for a walk down to the end of the road early this morning. To my surprise, there is a moto cross course that apparently is pretty popular on Sundays.
I also managed to figure out how to install a VPN account on my IPad which allows me to view numerous television shows and movies from the USA. I love my Spanish telenovelas, but I also enjoy a variety of English language programming so it is nice to now have a selection to watch in the evenings. The sun rises here early and sets early ...up around 5:30 am and sundown by 6:00 pm...year round.
We went to sample the food at a very nice restaurant named El Mirador (the lookout) right down the street from our rent home. We were the only customers at 4:00 pm. Not only did we enjoy the food, but also the entertainment on the TV. See link to get a snipet of what we watched while waiting for our food to arrive. Who knew there could be such a crazy sport in Costa Rica. At least in this sport, the bull wins instead of the humans! Check out the wild action with the bulls at: Costa Rica Bulls Zapote
Costa Ricans, like my compadres in Mexico, are a paradox. Muy despacito or slow for most things hence the saying "mañana," but Lord help us all when they get behind the wheel of a vehicle or on a motorcycle! Ay caramba, it's like Speedy Gonzales on crack once the motor is running.
Below is the picture (not great) of the black and red woodpecker I spotted and heard yesterday. I need to work on my photography and blogging skills!
