HOMESTAY CONT'D

The next day I went with both Carmen's to school across the street for a teacher's cooperative meeting which recognized various people for various accomplishments.  Here's a picture of some of the students, as well as the teachers.

 That night we went to visit her other daughter who lives in Heredia, in an upscale home and enviroment from where I was staying.  Then, next day, time for an adventure!  Olga, the daughter who lived next door and spoke no
English, and I took a bus to Puntarenes on the ocean for an overnight stay.  It was a good time!

Olga, who did not swim, eventually did go into the swimming pool at the motel, and with encouragement from another "local", went waist deep into the ocean.  Here's a street-food dish that we had for lunch:  Vigarone.  Pork rinds, cabbage, tomatoes, vinegar and oil dressing.
