First Day in Costa Rica

Our first day in Costa Rica. We are staying with Javier and Lupe Gainza; friends from our sabbatical leave in 1991. We flew TACA. It was a really nice flight, nothing went wrong, we left and arrived early and it was the cheapest going. I can recommend TACA or LACSA to anyone flying in and around Central or Latin America.

We stayed near Miami airport last night. We had two choices - return the rental car the night before and use the hotel shuttle to get to the airport or drive to the rental place in the morning and use their shuttle. We chose the latter and are glad we did. Instead of fighting with 20 other people for a place on the hotel shuttle we had no problems at the car rental agency.

I got the robot out of my bag today. We'll give it a workout tomorrow. The sample, built-in programs work.

On Thursday we are going to Puerto Viejo on the Atlantic coast. We'll stay at the Banana Azul.
