CR 5: On the road again

We were now headed back to the interior of the country for our next adventure. Along the way we saw many interesting things
the largest bridge in Costa Rica
(yes, this is still a two lane road)

the ox and cart we passed on the same road
the Burger King in a road-side hut

before stopping for the night at a small hotel/coffee farm, slightly outside of the city of Atenas. We had some difficulty finding the place, but were pleasantly surprised with the hotel and grounds.
We drove into Atenas for dinner, giving the daughter of the owner a lift to town on our way. It really is a great location for a night's stay immediately after arriving or the nite before leaving out of San Jose airport - close, but not in the big city of San Jose. The breakfast spread was amazing; fresh fruit, plantains, homemade tamales and pancakes, rice, beans, cookies, and fresh coffee. Those Ticos sure do like their breakfast.

And now, on to our last Costa Rican adventure...
