We learned how to make gallo pinto Friday morning before we left. The upper right corner is the beginning of it. The lower left corner are plantanos.
Here's Meddie making our delicious breakfast, as always.
On Saturday we went to one of the public pools in Atenas. Unfortunately, the big pool was empty due to rain issues and we ended up swimming in the kiddie pool, which only went up to my knees. Andy didn't mind though, quiere nadar.
Here is the larger pool in the background. The guys out there actually fixed it by Sunday or Monday.
Andy's floating around in the pool. He tried to make a whirlpool by swimming around, but it turned out to be more difficult than he thought.
After swimming, we checked out San Rafael day. The Catholic church next to the central park put on a fair complete with food, a manual merry-go-round (there was a guy who actually pushed the merry-go-round around), dangerous bumper cars, cow auctioning, and really tall people dressed in costumes.
On Saturday night we made a semi-authentic meal, complete with rice and chayote.
The electrical workers were putting up new cables Saturday morning and asked if they could keep the spool in our yard. We told them yes, hoping it would be gone by Monday when Tom and Debbie came back. It wasn't. I think it is still there today, too.

haha, that's funny about the spool in the back yard. That just goes to show you that it's a whole different country over there.
