After lunch, my family, my house mate Steve, and I went to the carnival in Zapote, again. I think I’m already becoming pretty familiar with this part of the city.
Well, that’s what I thought until Mildred’s brother (who lives right below us) took Steven and me for an evening tour of the city. San José is quite confusing and quite larger than I thought. We saw all the significant buildings downtown, learned about the neighborhoods to avoid, and basically realized that we would be pretty um….screwed...if we ever get lost downtown. After the tour, we drove up a hill to eat dinner. I wasn’t expecting much, but when we arrived, I was shocked. The view was exquisite! You could see the entire city, which was entirely too enormous to process. It was an open air restaurant and the temperature was much cooler than down in the valley. We drank some beer, ate more delicious food and shared a lot of cross-cultural knowledge with the uncle, the oldest daughter, and her husband. I love this place.

and a plate with several types of delicious meat.
Tico, Tica, Tico, Gringo!

You look like you fit in already! I was worried whether you would have food issues, but I think that's not looking to be a problem. Love your blog and you, Dad
