We're in San Jose
We drove down to San Jose yesterday to do some business, and we're staying in the Inter-Continental Hotel. We had to leave Santa Elena at 5 am to make sure that we would arrive at the hotel in time to attend a land/property auction. Jim wanted to have an idea of what the current market is like here.
We hit a lot of traffic once we got on the PanAmerican Highway, and it took us about 3.5 hours to get to San Jose. Kevin and Catie stayed in the hotel room and ordered room service and watched movies while we attended the auction. The most expensive piece sold was a 400 acre tract next to the airport in Liberia: 40 million dollars. Incredible.
Mark met us at the hotel that evening and we had dinner at a sushi bar. Kevin thought he was ordering 5 pieces of tuna sushi, and he found out when it arrived that he had actually ordered 5 PLATES of sushi! What a surprise. I guess the waitress figured he looked hungry.
