Our driver today, Guillermo, picked us up promptly at 11am. We took off for the banco, to pick up some Colones, and then headed to our acupuncturist.

The session today was bueno. Dr. Kim placed several strategic needles here and there and a few momentos later, I felt as though he had given me a muscle relaxer. Ahhhhhh…..although, he did comentar about how “stressed out” I still am. Well, I feel 20 times better than last week.

Dr. Kim told us that it took him 2 years to adopt the Costa Rican way of life and it did him a world of good. He calls it the “Country Mañana” which means, the country of tomorrow… where things are generally put off… until mañana (tomorrow). Low stress, no hurry, etc., etc.

After the session, Guillermo was outside waiting and we coaxed him into having lunch with us at an amazing Lebanese restaurant named Lubnan. The link I am providing doesn’t give very much information, other than location.

We had hummus along with tabule and fattoush for appetizers. The main courses consisted of a “special” which had chicken, lamb, and beef kabobs, a raw meat plate, and two shawarma sandwiches. They served the “special” with some type of butter/garlic dipping sauce that is divine! I got a coffee and Guillermo had some type of mixed drink that looked interesting, but I’m unsure of what it was.

We’ll be going back there for sure, and next time I’ll take my camera.

On the ride back home I saw the most amazing piece of graffiti Costa Rica has blessed me with as of yet. In a busy intersection of town, across the street from the Mall San Pedro, sitting on the corner is a Burger King. On the concrete wall in front of this Burger King, right where pedestrians walk past, someone has crudely spray painted “Burger Shit” to act as the side-walk sign for the fast food restaurant.

I will try to take a photo of it in the near futuro.
