Our first full day in Costa Rica
There is a beautiful park about 3 blocks up the road from the hotel so we decided to take a stroll up to it. It was an adventure just getting to the park as the road is a steep grade, there were several potholes, and the curbs are up to a foot high! Once we made it to the park it was beautiful. The park was full of families and there were lots of people of all ages playing futbol (soccer). It was neat to see how family oriented everybody seemed. There were people ziplining through the trees, riding horses and ponies through the park, and people fishing in the lake with no fishing poles. There were a few vendors around, but it is nothing like Mexico. They don't actively try to sell you stuff and we have been told that they don't negotiate the price. Sorry we forgot the camera in the room, but I'm sure we will be back and we'll post some pictures then. We later had dinner at a restaurant next to our hotel. It was funny to get the bill and see we were paying $16,350 for dinner, good thing the exchange rate is about 580 to $1. So it was really only about $27. We are excited and anxious for my first appointment with ICM at 8:00 tomorrow morning. It will consist of blood work and they will also go over my treatment plan with me. Bye for now.
