Sitting in Chile Rojo - my favorite restaurant in Puerto Viejo - you can hear the waves gently hit the sand and rocks that make up the coast in the small, Caribbean town. The Chile Rojo calls itselt "Thai, Vegetarian, Middle Eastern and Fresh Fish." Their peanut skewers and cocnut steamed rice make my mouth water, ecspecially after gallo pinto, gallo pinto, gallo pinto - the unofficial national dish of the country.
We also took the time to take three buses and a pirata - illegal taxi - to get to Doka Estate. It's a working coffee plantation that calls itself "the real coffee tour." They sell beans to Starbucks, lots of them. It was a beautiful place. One thing to note, in Costa Rica they grow coffee in clumps of two as opposed to single plants. This method allows the country to have a higher coffee density and, therefore, grow and sell more coffee.
While waiting for one of the three buses we took up to Doka, these kids noticed my camera and me. They decided to appropriately ham it up. Thanks, guys ;-)
