San Jose to Arenal




Our accomodation in San Jose was very nice!! Hotel Gran de Oro was spectacular. I dove head first into Spanish, which I speak regularly in the clinic...but this time I could not bust into my daily canned-speeches about pediatric constipation. I was forced to actually communicate about rooms, taxis, and order meals; which is a different realm for me. I think I did okay, but Isabel bailed me out a lot. After a pleasant relaxing night in a quaint room and an awesome breakfast at the Hotel Gran de Oro (above pics); we headed for Arenal in a taxi with a few other folks...notably a young couple from NYC, who were nice enough to sell us a memory card for Isabel's new Canon Rebel XSi camera!!!
