Playin catchup

We just made it to Costa Rica and now I need to play catch up on the blog. I started writing this post two weeks or so ago, then got busy plus crappy wifi. So, anyway, here it is!

The weather here these last few days has been freeeeezing, and by freezing I mean like 65, but it’s cloudy and windy. I had to wear a light jacket twice this week! This is punishment for rubbing in all the amazing weather we were enjoying here while my family back home in the states were all freezing. I know, you all feel so bad for me but you won’t soon when you read the next paragraph! 😉

Antigua has all your fast food options, and seriously, these places are so beautiful. You could straight up get married in the McDonald’s courtyard. The clown sitting on the bench could be a little weird, but besides that, totally wedding worthy. This first picture below, the one with the beautiful fountain; that’s Taco Bell, which, OMG, Best Taco Bell ever, which is also saying something because all Taco Bells are the best ever. I think I’m going to set a goal to hit up every fast food restaurant this town has to offer. So far we’ve done:

Little Caesars, McDonalds, Taco Bell, and Pollo Campero. Still soooo many to check off the list.

In between Taco Bell runs we have managed to find other activities to fill the time until the next meal there. The other day, for example, we booked a chocolate cooking class at the Chocomuseo. The first half an hour was mostly just talking, but after that, the real fun began. We all had an absolute blast making chocolates, and eating them, trying various chocolate drinks, etc. I 100% recommend doing this with kids. Do just be aware that the first bit is somewhat boring for children to sit through, although I found it incredibly informative.
