My red bag was full so I had to go home.

I don't know what I would do without my red bag. I put everything in it and zip the top and away I go. It was a lovely morning so I headed to Cartago. While I was waiting for the bus I went to the shake place and had a great natural drink - with water rather than milk. It was papaya and pineapple and mandarina and Limon. A little sugar. It is only 1000 colones for the smaller size. I will have to try this more often. 
My first stop was the yarn shop because I brought her cookies and chocolate covered bananas and a dish of guayaba jelly. Business was good so we talked in between customers. I told her about the classes and she wants to come on the 16th. She would do the Spanish and it would be great for me because she understands crafts also. A week from Friday I am going to meet her in Cartago and we are going to Pequeno Mundo. I have a feeling it is going to be a taxi home day.
From the yarn shop I went around the corner to a couple large stores and bought some containers for jelly. I love the little ones. I just wish they had lids. I will have to use them for here. Apparently I will find lots of containers at Pequendo Mundo so that will be for the next batch.
Off I go again to the fabric shop. I picked up beads and in most cases they are not in packages, you buy them individually. I bought a bunch of pony beads so the poor lady stood there and counted forever. In fact I had two ladies helping me. I went thru the ribbons and pulled down all the ones I wanted and said I wanted 5 meters of each. Believe me, I have ribbon. I didn't make it to the place where I get the cording for the web but that will be next time. 
I headed home and stopped in Orosi for lunch because it was very late and all I had all day was the fruit drink. I had a lovely salad with hot chicken and cooked cucumbers and tomatoes and another fruit drink. This time it was mixed and I don't know what was in it except I could taste pineapple.
I also stopped at the other grocery store and got ziplock bags - my store had been out of them and I got a big pot so I don't have to borrow Tia's. Now the only thing I have to borrow is the blender, until I bring mine.
Hopefully tomorrow will be a jelly making day!
Another great day in Costa Rica. It is 4:00pm and it hasn't rained yet.




It is hard to tell but the little one is only about half a cup and it is tin. 
I did notice when we went by the nursery in Paraiso that there were tons of flowers. I might not be able to resist another visit.
Tomorrow is jelly making, Thursday is Otto and Friday is the ladies about the class. My, my, my what a busy life I lead!
