We've been meaning to take a few pictures around Puriscal, and finally got around to it.
 |
The police station where I went to report Dylan missing when he ran away |
 |
The Red Cross building, where I went to pay my utility bills
until I discovered I could also pay them at the grocery store.
Also, an ambulance like the one seen here once pulled
up to our house to deliver the phone book. |
 |
One of several car places we have been to,
which all tend to have cheap labor but expensive parts |
 |
The bakery where we get our bread every couple days |
 |
A newly built playground across from the bakery |
 |
The Mercado--basically a shopping mall with various produce, meat, and
clothing vendors. We were happy when we found a vendor here who sold cocoa. |
 |
One of the vendors inside the Mercado |
 |
One of the many little produce stores around town.
This one has good pipas frias (coconut water). |
 |
The entrance to Julia's school |
 |
The photo store where I got passport photos of the
kids--needed for school registration |
 |
"Kinkos," where I get copies, lots of construction paper, and other office supplies |
 |
One of a couple pizza places in town--way overpriced for the product |
 |
The municipal building where I've had to pay a couple parking tickets
before I figured out where I could legally park |
 |
The boys' school, with the guard in front who lets the kids in and out |
 |
The small church next to the boys' school,
where Catholic class is taught |
 |
The post office.. Who would have thought, right? |
 |
The electronics store |
 |
The eye store, where I once took my glasses to be
repaired (they needed a new screw), and the woman
repaired them on the spot for no charge. |
 |
Our church, where we have met many great people |
 |
The much larger Catholic church across the street.
On Easter, we got to see a Catholic procession go by
while we were having Sacrament Meeting, complete
with a brass band and burning incense. |
 |
The hairdresser, where I recently received my first ever professional
hair color treatment for only $35 |
 |
The large, deserted Catholic church, that like many other
Latin American towns, marks the center of the town.
This one is gated up and crumbling. |
 |
The plaza, a park adjacent to the large church where
many of the towns' activities take place |
I hope you enjoyed your virtual tour of this colorful little town!
