"Cause I'm a Pot Hole"

We traveled to many different cities while we were in Costa. So instead of cabbing it, we rented a car and drove to all of our wonderful destinations. However, their roads are not as maintained as roads in the U.S....just one of the many ways us Americans are spoiled!! We were literally dodging pot holes left and right! It was crazy! I took some pictures...at times you literally could not miss hitting one of the gigantic holes in the two lane highways!




It took us nearly 6 hours to get from Playa de Hermosa to Arenal. On the way we stopped a couple times to get food and stretch our legs. I took pictures of the little hole in the wall restaurants we stopped in. The first one was literally on the side of the road in a little town. The woman at the front counter did not speak any English so we did our best to order in spanish. And between the 6 of us we were pretty convinced that she understood what we wanted...6 chicken tacos and 2 chicken burritos. Easy enough. Well we received two fried chicken breasts with tortillas and 6 taquitos. Who knows...but the food was amazing and the ambiance at the restaurant was exactly what you would expect from a little tiny family owned restaurant.









Then about two more hours into our trip we stopped a German Bakery. Hmmm?? German bakery in Costa?? That's exactly why we stopped...just a little curious. The whole place was completely geared toward the American tourist. Everything was in English, there were clean bathrooms, a cute little store and lots of "knick-knacks" on the wall. Think of it as a Costa Rica TGIFridays that only sells pastries and coffee. But it was still very tasty and nice little break from the pot holes! :)
