The election, the Superbowl and good friends

February 2: 90 degrees

Today, we are going to check back into Cabinas Jimenez after relocating for one night.  We wake up, pack up and begin heading through town towards our final destination and the hotel where we will spend the next 3 nights.   On our way, we stop by a great little cafe for coffee, breakfast and wifi access.  We have time to kill, so we set up on the patio near the street and relax.   

The street is VERY busy this morning, but we quickly see that it's because it's Election Day.  There are tents and people in T-shirts and with flags supporting their favorite candidates. We watch the action between sips of coffee and bites of pancakes.  Election Day is on a Sunday, and all Ticos old enough must vote.

Hanging with our new friends on our patio at Cabinas Jimenez. 

It's also SuperBowl Sunday, so I know what I will be doing at 5:30 local time!  Hopefully we can find a place showing the game. 

After breakfast, we head back to our old/new hotel and while we are waiting in the lobby for our room to be ready, we see our friends Katrina and Dave whom we met in Manuel Antonio the week before.  Yay!  We had so much fun last time we hung out. It was great to see them, and we made a date to watch the SuperBowl at a bar near the beach.   Good thing we had friends to talk to since the game sucked and the commentary was in Spanish.  

We watched the game on that pull-up screen.  Only ~10 people paid any attention to the game, and 5 of them were at our table.
