Off the Ferry and on our way - totally forgetting how much "up hill" driving we had to do. Yikes! Seldom got the car out of first gear and got stuck being several big rigs who barely chugged their way up the mountain side - oh well - we finally arrived.
After checking into the hotel (Hotel Aranjuez again), we all headed out for a big dinner at Cafe Mundo - a great spot for big food. MMMM - stuffed by the end of it.
Saturday morning, mom and dad headed off to the airport :(, while the rest of us hopped onto a local bus for a 1.5 hr ride to Sarchi - a small town north of the city in the mountains known for it's artisan work. Once we arrived, it was time to shop!!!!
Our first (and best stop) was at the rocking chair factory - Costa Rica makes the most amazing wooden rocking chairs with leather backing and seats - Michael and I have always loved them and wanted one - luckily for us they were very nicely prices here - so we bought 2!!! They are being shipped this week UPS - can't wait!!!!!
A little more shopping then back to San Jose (via 2 buses this time). Dinner at Pizza Hut - yes Pizza Hut - you read that correctly (Larissa's choice) then to bed, well for 3 of us - Lisa and Larissa stayed up late and watched a movie.
The next morning, we all shared a van to the car rental for me, Michael and Cheryl, while Lisa and Larissa headed to the airport for their journey home - Good bye Lisa and Larissa - had a great time!!!!!
Michael, Cheryl and I hopped into our rental and off we went to the North Pacific Coast town of Playas Del Coco. Stay tuned!!!
