A Trip to the ATM and Grocery Store

We had not visited an ATM to withdraw some colones, the Costa Rican currency, so after a late breakfast at the Hotel Garza in Platanar nearby we headed to Florencia--only 15 minutes via curvy mountain road.  Mission: go to the ATM and to the Flosanco grocery store, what passes for a supermercado in these parts.  At  the ATM we had a crisis of conversion calculations--but all went well and we each got 100K colones ($200) from our respective accounts.


The grocery store was well-stocked and we loaded up with 22K worth of foodstuffs for the kitchen at the villa.
