Pics: Best pork in Costa Rica.




Still no internet, we are starting to have withdrawals! Anyhow, this morning the girls started getting things ready. Washing clothes, packing clothes, etc. Just a few more days left. L For lunch, Alex drove us up to Naranjito. There is a local there who is known to have the best pork around. Last year a guy on our zipline tour told us about him, then when the Sterns and Kotormans were visiting, our zipline tour guide on this trip told us the same thing, then on Friday, Bryn Cernuda was telling us about the same guy. I knew I must go after hearing so many people rave about his food. He cooks only on the weekends and doesn’t advertise. You would never know about this place except by word of mouth. No sign or nothing, just a sitting area under a tin roof and a big open grill. The prices are amazingly cheap. Nothing fancy, just a plate of grilled pork, boiled yucca (a lot like potatoes) and slices of lime and a Coke to wash it all down. You don’t even get silverware, you can either eat with your hands (which most of us did) or there are some toothpicks on the table you can use. Talk about “finger licking good”! It was so good that the girls made me order extra to take home.
At the meeting today we had 2 couples and another brother all visiting from Missouri. They are here only for a week scoping out the area to see if maybe they might move here permanently. We had about 25 in attendance. We decided to stay home and watch a movie tonight. I rented Wall-E and we ate popcorn and then played cards.
