Ikea, Costa Rican style

So Ray, Jimmy and I go to this tourist place on the way to San Isidro that Ray has been to before. It is full of lots of touristy stuff, but most of it is a cut above the usual crap. Here is Ray, goofing around with the hat and poncho - he usually doesn't look this tacky! Ray and Jimmy are the owners of the Orosi Valley farm B&B nearby, which is a lovely place with an incredible view of the Orosi valley. I ended up buying a simple bed frame, a rocking chair, a hammock and a couple of gifts. I spent a little under $100.

So then my personal furniture angels come back to my house to assemble the furniture, and we find that the bed holes don't quie line up, so they had to be re-drilled. It turned out to be more of a job than the guys bargained for. Once all that was done, it went together pretty easily, but the bed turned out to be just a little bit short for my standard "matrimonial" (double) size mattress...It's OK, I can live with it. In fact, its real comfy.
