Feeling productive

January 21:  93 degrees

Mandy continued her Spanish lessons with Angelina today while I helped to sand and restore the porch of one of the casitas at LazDivaz.  The floor is made of teak wood and very sensitive to sanding.  This floor in particular has a lot of history and we are trying to restore it the best we can.  I am happy to help and feel productive while we are away.  This might even prevent me from any major projects to my home in Columbus when we return...maybe.

After the project and Mandy's Spanish lesson, it was time for dinner with Sara and Angelina at Colochos.  This is a Tico-owned and run Soda that is slightly difficult to find in Samara.  Sara and Angelina swear it is the best food around.  Of course we order Casado con pescado (Casado with fish). Casado is typical Tico food including rice, beans, salad, plantains and meat or fish all on one plate.  When our food arrived, every bite just melted in our mouths.  It was in fact, the best food we had since arriving in Costa Rica.  The ladies definitely did not steer us wrong on this night.

We will be posting a review on Trip Advisor for Colochos...the best food we've had on this trip.  Thanks again ladies!
