I had asked Cristina to get the lawn guy to come today so the clippings could be thrown out with tomorrow's trash. As usual, she listened to me and he did not come this morning as I waited, he is coming Sunday.... Grrrr.
I made up the leftover sausages from Wednesday with the tomato sauce Berthold makes at the German Restaurant that works well with sausages. It went down pretty good! We had no dog food ready today so they had to make do with sausages and weiners.
It was a bit of an overcast, grey day but we needed to get out so we decided to go north as far as the second toll booth, just paying for one, there and back ($6). This took us all the way to Cartago on the way to Pereira.
I really took no photos on the way up, most of the views were to the West. So we saw a ton of sugar cane fields and not much else. We were gone 3.5 hours because we pulled in to check out a town called La Victoria but it wasn't much. Wires are not buried here so many photos are ruined by their presence.
I was using the Canon today and I have to admit at being disappointed with the photos.
We stopped at the cemetery here for a few moments and I made a 360° video to show you the beauty of the place.
I hope you enjoy the pictures and video. That was the day’s excitement.
