Last night, I met up with my friend Jóse (the tech guy at Habitat) to go to dinner in Barva, where he lives. He has been telling me for months about this restaurant, called Pepinos, where they have a "hamburger" called the Doble Miedo. As y'all know, I can eat, so he challenged me to finish it. I am ashamed to say, I couldn't do it (or maybe I would have been more ashamed if I had finished it... I am not sure). In between 3 different buns were sandwiched 2 hamburger patties, pulled beef, french fries, ham, bacon, pickles, lettuce, and I don't even remember what else. I used like 27 napkins.
Jóse showed me the central plaza, and I totally fell in love with the city. There are a ton of sculptures in the main park, and a lot of really cool art. I still get surprised about how much variety there is in Costa Rica- Barva seems like a different country from Santa Rosa. The city is famous for its fiestas, where they make really crazy masqueradas (traditional masks). Every trash can has a clown scultpure/mask on the top; kind of creepy, but I liked it.
