So after we moved the car, we saw this neat little place for lunch - it's called a "soda" -- they are everywhere!!! Seriously, Mom and I decided that anyone can open a soda. They serve "typico tico casados" - beans, rice, chicken or pork, maybe an avocado or plantain - and some other side dishes like quesadillas, tacos, etc. What we liked about this one was the declaration: "English Spoken Here." The menu was in both english and spanish which was great because then you can not only know what you're ordering but you can also learn some new words!!!
So Mom and I both had the chicken casado - and we ordered in spanish, thank you very much!!! And the girls had quesadillas. Mom ordered a "Coca Light" - diet coke - and the guy had to run out somewhere to get it!!!
So the girls had too much Fresca and we had to stop for a pee on the side of the road - which is no longer the Pan American highway but a skinnier but just as well paved beginning to get windy road... did that make sense? And if you look closely at that bottom picture - which was taken where we stopped for the pee, you can make out Volcan Arenal in the distance. This was one of our first glimpses of it!!! The lake is Lake Arenal - how creative! - it's a man-made lake and that's about all I know about it at this point.
