Wow, after two weeks here a conversation with a bunch of half crazy ex-pats.
If you should find yourself in Heredia, Costa Rica, on a Friday afternoon, head to San Rafael de Heredia and ask the taxi to talk you to Bar Pachis, there you will meet a few ex-patriots, Fred, John, Bill, Bill, Joe, Judy, and a few other folks. John was a 2 star general in the army, Fred is a dentist, Joe a professional gambler, not sure about Bill, Bill, and Judy, but I intend to find out more tomorrow. This group has been together awhile, ya know like the joke about about the guys that says 13, and they all bust up in laughter. If you don't know the joke, just forget it.
It was a lot of story, but some of it really good story. John saved a little girl from a pile of dead people and raise her as his daughter -- 50 years ago.
Joe bought a house on a tip about the odds in a tennis match, and made enough to buy an excellent view from the hill.
It was fun, and never had a good time with a general, a dentist, and gambler, and other folks that have lived some piece of their life full out.
Maybe more tomorrow, maybe not.
But tomorrow I get my teeth back, well not my teeth, but the stuff they put on my implants.
