I know you’ve all been anxious, but don’t worry, the wait is over! Here are my Pictures of the Day from the last week or so:
Anyhow, a couple of years ago Costa Rica basically ditched Taiwan for China, because China offered us a handful of shitty police patrol cars, as well as a shiny new National Stadium. It’s pretty sad, really.
In any case, on Thursday evenings I teach a class right across the street from the stadium.
It doesn’t stay lit very well or long, but I may not be starting it right. I may have to search out some “normal” briquettes… Still, lunch was great!
So, that’s all for now. Be sure to check out the Leftovers. Thanks for reading, and have a great day!

Sure, have at it, but just don’t say I gave it to you 🙂
Would “tailor” work?
What exactly is a “steak-like thing from the supermarket”? Fillet of mystery fauna? I think I’m frightened…and I think I know why the Pepto doesn’t cut it lately. 😉
Are pistachios a local crop there? Yum!
Hey AnnaLisa!
Well, I guess it’s a steak, but it’s thinner and pre-marinated. It is from a cow, at least theoretically. We’ve had some very back luck with meat here, and it seems that it’s either nasty or expensive or both, but this packaged stuff is good. Possibly it’s because it’s a brand name, so someone is kind of accountable.
I don’t think pistachios are a local crop, but what do I know? I know that a half-pound bag cost about 10 dollars, though, so I’m thinking they’re from somewhere else. Or else our supermarket is hosing us. In any case, we hardly ever buy them, so it seemed appropriate to celebrate the event by making it a Picture of the Day.
I also hated pistachios up until Sam bought some recently.
The above picture of Chubby is SO freaking hilarious!
I’m also very sorry to hear about Cucho. It was actually tough reading your entry about him a few days ago, but I felt like I should since he was our friend too. Sam and I will really miss him.
Later…

Hey Deuce!
Thanks for the comments, and thanks for caring about Cucho.
I’ll hope to chat with you sometime to hear how your trip went!
