Back from Costa Rica

A week and a half of tropical paradise, and now back to snow and indoor light.  C'est la vie.

A few notes on Costa Rica:

• Gallo Pinto with Salsa Lizano is one of the best breakfast inventions ever.  
• We need good Casado in Philadelphia.
• I learned last night that most of the Ceviche in Philadelphia is shark -- when the fishermen catch shark, it's hard to sell on a menu, so most restaurants mask it as ceviche.
• Fried plantains make every meal more enjoyable.
