Day 15: What can I say? 8:00 pm

My last words to Ernie, one of the concierges at Camino Verde, when we boarded our shuttle to San José this morning, were, in Spanish. "I will come back to your beautiful country a third time." Ernie asks, "When?" I reply jokingly "When I have a man, and money!" He says, "Very soon then!" We both burst into spontaneous laughter! It was another Pura Vida moment.

It was a f-r-e-e-b-i-e day today. Lou and I had a free drink with our last lunch in Monteverde, at the Morphos restaurant, thanks to our concierge José, who gave us the card. Then in our shuttle to San José, we made a rest stop. I was looking where to buy a cold beer. Hey, it was hot!  I heard some people in a tour group speaking English, so I asked them where they got their beer. Turns out the two men were from Ottawa and Vancouver. The beer was 2$ US. I muttered to myself, "I only have a dollar." Despite my protestations, they bought me a beer. CANADIANS  are good people. 🇨🇦

Hermanita and I are in our cute little AirBnb room, very close to the airport. We were going to stay at the same AirBnb one we stayed in when we arrived.  HOWEVER, Wolfgang canceled our reservation. He said he was going out of town, but we think he was upset with me, because I said in the review of his place, "Not right now". I meant I didn't want to review his place right now. I was on VACATION, for crying out loud! Anyway, with our Airbnb credit we chose this other place VERY close to the airport, knowing full well that it is right by a train track, and on the takeoff flight path of some airlines. They are so close to us when they fly over, that I DON'T need my glasses to read what is written on the underbelly of the plane. 😉 Nery, the drop dead beautiful young owner of this place, who is also a total sweetheart, offered us earplugs. We have them... remember that damn rooster? In the last two hours we have heard three planes, two trains, but NO automobiles 🚗! It can really shake, rattle and roll here! You know what? It just adds to the ambiance and the sense of adventure! Did I mention she has three dogs? Train number three just rolled by. I have to add that there is a cacophony of barking by ALL three dogs, when a plane takes off or a train rolls by! TOO FUNNY!

Buenas noches from San José, Costa Rica!
