One of the bathrooms needed toilet paper, so our hosts, Arnaldo and Carol, brought some. We invited them in and chatted for over an hour about things to do in the area, as well as hearing about the time they've spent in the U.S. They're good people.
The water went out around lunch time. We filled up the salad bowl with rainwater for washing hands. It seemed like a good reason to go into town for lunch.
We took a restaurant suggestion from a guy that Cristina had met at Bosque. He takes students on trips to La Fortuna, so he knew the cheaper restaurants. We found La Parada. It was still on the pricey side, but for La Fortuna I guess it was a better deal.
The kids ordered french fries to share, and Elena and Bella were tapping the salt shaker over the fries when the cap came off and dumped a mountain of salt. They were willing to just shake the salt off, but the waiter made them a new order of fries.
We got a few groceries and then headed back to the house. The water was back on.
We binge-watched a Netflix series called Blown Away, a competitive glassblowing thing. It was great, but we were all disappointed in the final winner. Shoulda been Janusz.
I went to bed around 10. When Cristina came to bed around midnight, she said the power had gone out. It came back on in the middle of the night. I knew because I woke up and the bathroom light was on and the AC was working.
