Alejandro: A nice guy from Colombia who sells jewelry in Playa Samara and went swimming with my brother and I one afternoon. Very nice guy!
Doña Petronila: An indigenous lady who lives in Puerto Viejo on the Caribbean side of the country. She is part of the Bri Bri tribe and lives on a Cacao (cocoa) farm and taught my mom and I how to make chocolate. We saw the process from picking the cacao from the tree all the way to making the cocoa paste and making chocolate. Very cool experience!
Graciela: She works at a fruit and veggie stand that is in Nicoya Guanacaste in the Pacific. We went there to get some limes and avocados to make some guacamole at our Villa. She had fun practicing her English with me.
Mari: She sells jewelry with her grandfather in Puerto Viejo in the Caribbean. She was super sweet and told us that she was studying to be a doctor.
Juan Carlos: He is a young guy (14 years old) that sells "grilled meat" on a little push cart. I guess you could say that he sells shish-ka-bobs. Anyway.... was super funny and would always yell out to me when I walked through the village. He gave me a shish-ka-bob one night and as I walked away he told me it was horse meat. Wow! I accepted it graciously and almost died as I walked away. Ha!

so...did you try the horsemeat kebab? ;-)
I have to admit that I bit a small corner off. I was saved though because I accidently dropped the stick of meat on the ground. I picked it up and it was full of sand. Oops!
oh pooey~ what a waste. i'm sure you were disappointed that you accidentally dropped it right? =) it's not everyday you get to eat horsemeat.
