The ride was pretty uneventful and Mark made good time overall. We went via Atenas as we wanted to eat there at La Carreta as we had not eaten there last time we were there. We got a trifle lost trying to find it, but were laughing at recalling how foreign Atenas felt on our first day in Costa Rica, but felt familiar and comfortable today. We had a lovely lunch. I had ceviche and Mark had a really good burrito. I had my last pineapple smoothie - made with only water and pineapple. I will miss them; maybe I will learn to whip up my own.
We also went to the Cooperative Mercado there and I got some of the peach tea that they make here which I also really like and want to take home with me. And, Mark got some more coffee, too, to take home.
We are now at a nondescript Hampton Inn. We could be anywhere in the world. I am not saying that it is not nice, but it does not feel at all like the adventurous and funky and quirky places we have been staying. And, naturally, the internet works here like a charm.
We returned our Hyundai Tucson very easily which was quite surprising. We were relieved to get rid of it because it never felt reliable and did stall on us a few times while chugging uphill.
Just water and pineapple? Juice Bar could do that!
