I tried a little Italian hole-in-the-wall, pizza with thin crisp crust, pretty good spaghetti. It is in the plaza across from Chellies, up stairs, 2nd floor, don’t know the name. Sat out on the patio and watched the world go by.

Not sure where to go for Turkey Day Dinner. Any suggestions? Dunn Inn, Holiday Inn, Sportsmen's, Del Mar or Colonial?

Muñoz and Nane is a compilation of stores under one roof – hardware, groceries, bakery, pharmacy, etc., including a tack and saddle shop and some western wear shop. They have a lot of US stuff that is hard to find in CR.

It is located east of the San Perdro Mall in Montes de Oca, near U-Latina. San Ramon bus leaves from in front of New York Bar. Several other busses go there.

Their lunch special is well worth it. Rice & beans, a choice of two or three salads including lettuce and American style salad dressing, roll, drink and a steak flame broiled right in front of you. The steak is thin but quite good. Sometimes they have barbeque beef ribs. They have the other traditional casados like chicken, etc. All for 2400 colones; at today’s rate $4.80.
