Where in Costa Rica is Liz-z?

Hola, amigos! Today we started off the day at the central market. We were able to see where the locals shop and the kinds of products they purchase. After our visit to the market, we headed to the McDonalds to sit down for a minute. While there, a few of us took a bathroom break. Unfortunately, my group forgot to do a head count and I got  left behind. Thankfully, Fernando came to the rescue and even bought me a delicious strawberry pastry. Thanks, Fernando!! After enjoying my scrumptious treat, we had the opportunity to visit the Costa Rican congress. 

We first learned the basics about the congress. We then had the chance to interactively converse with  congressman Mendoza. He was very well spoken and is a potential candidate for president of CR.

After congress, we had lunch and bought a few souvenirs. Next up was the wood tour. He showed us the process wood  goes through, when making a product. We then drove to a bubble gum making factory.

We saw the process from start to finish.

We finished off the day with dinner on a mountain. We had a buffet style Costa Rican meal and got to watch a traditional dance.

As always, buenos nochas, CR!
