Coffee and Cards

On the road up toward the Irazu volcano we like to stop at an unusual restaurant. This place is famous for its being covered from head to toe with people's business cards. There are so many that they are practically obstructing the view (which is pretty spectacular from so high up).

What we really like about this place is the coffee and some special items on the menu. Almost everybody ordered tortillas with cheese. These are plate-sized corn tortillas with a delicious white cheese mixed into the batter. Here we all are, getting ready for the breakfast snack:
Gramma always in her favorite position--next to Sasha with a book in her hand. Sasha completely amazes everybody with her stunning (for one year old) understanding of practically everything you tell her (and in English or Spanish!). Daddy James will say, where's so and so (person or thing) and she'll point or look that way. Then he'll say, "where's Sasha" and we all totally melt when she pats her own chest!
Here's some of the gang pigging out...
And the Proud Parents, more lovey-dovey than ever!
Kathy and James with some of the zillions of cards in the background
This lil' dude will melt you away as well as Sasha. Javidy takes a fancy to pretty girls much older that he, we hear. He can knock a waitress dead in her tracks with a smiley "hola!".
