Pizza il Capo, Grecia, Costa Rica

Earlier this week, we visited Pizza il Capo in the Mall Plaza Grecia  and right next to Pops ice cream shop. We had been wanting to try their pizzas. They open at 11:30am and we arrived shortly after, were seated right away and given menus.

For drinks, Lance ordered Gallo Tapado Irish red ale, an artensial beer brewed in Grecia. I decided on the limonada con hierba buena, which was icy cold and so tasty. For pizzas, I went with the gorgonzola and Lance had the Caribbean. We decided on the personal portion size (four slices) and we could only eat half so took the rest home for a later snack.

We’ll be back - they have pasta dishes too. Service was fast and friendly and the food was delicious.

It's A Beautiful Morning

I walked into Atenas this morning and, along the way, admired a field full of fat cattle knee deep in grass, patted an orange cat, wondered if I should buy some jacotes from the roadside vendor, and tried to get two lazy hound pups to come over to me for a pat. Said "good morning" to lots of people.

Jacotes are small fruit that have a taste like a combination of apple, pear and mango. Didn't buy them this time.

After I finished my banking business, went to the newly opened "Crema y Nata" pasteleria which is right beside Pops ice cream shop. Both stores are kitty-corner to the park on Avenida 1. I had heard great things about their products and bought two small cakes to take home. Saw six bagels that I should have grabbed because they go fast. Crema y Nata also have a stand at our feria on Fridays.

Taxied home and had a wonderful swim in our neighbor's pool. It was like diving into a cool spring - so refreshing. Part of the pool was shaded by an enormous windmill palm and dragonflies were hovering and diving down to the water.
