They seemed a little amazed at how loaded we were. Mark was especially happy to see Eric's French Horn. I was a little surprised when they said they hadn't had much trouble riding so far, even in places with dangerous reputations, like Guatemala and Nicaragua. The second remarkable thing that happened involved food. I love Costa Rican rice and beans, but I have to admit that I'm getting a little sick of it.
Eggs are a little funny here too.
When you get them scrambled, they're basically fine. But you can't get them over easy, over medium, etc. I don't know the words for those orders, and we've never seen them cooked that way here. But I think they just throw the whole egg in a vat of oil. It comes out pretty oily and pretty well done.
