getting ready to say good-bye

For our last night in Costa Rica, we returned to San Jose and the same Holiday Inn where we'd spent our first night. We had dinner at a really good restaurant (Cafe Mundo, I think?) that reminded us both of the kind of places that are popular in Austin-- a big old house, with a few tables in each room, plenty of outdoor seating, and a casual, but imaginitive menu. Lots of Ticos, no tourists. Joan took a nap, and around midnight, we went out to El Pueblo, a complex of restaurants, shops, bars, clubs, etc. Here we finally got a chance to put those salsa lessons to good use. The more traditional dance hall was winding down so after a few dances, we went to some of the more young-hormone-oriented discos. And that was a lot of fun, too.
