Interesting, or possibly strange, fact about Costa Rica. Today was El Dia National de Gallo Pinto (National Gallo Pinto Day). Now this probably doesn't mean a whole lot to you, at least not until you know what gallo pinto is...Gallo pinto is a rice and bean meal that is a popular food for breakfast in Costa Rica. Today, if you went to downtown San Jose, you could get a plate of gallo pinto for free. (I didn't go, I honestly forgot about it this afternoon, I was too busy spending time with one of the CMA missionary families here.) I haven't quite decided how I feel about a national holiday for food...I don't even really know why it's a holiday nor how it got started...but...
There you go, another strange/interesting thing about life in Costa Rica!
