staying at larisa and isabelle’s place in san jose (the place is much too nice to say i’m crashing there). it’s a really cool blend of modern\/traditional design, with modern furniture, plants and a bunch of patios. really cool. we also went to a very good argentinian restaurant here (la equina de buenos aires)….although they did mess up larisa’s steak twice (the first time was rare, the second time was raw) — but the service handled the problem well.
\nin other news, my muffler fell off. not exactly sure what i’m going to do yet. leave it off? patch it again (temporary)? replace it? replace the whole exhaust system?….having a rusted exhaust system is very very frustrating.
\nfinally, getting directions to places in san jose is a bit ridiculous, as many houses lack numbers. for instance, to get to larisa’s….i looked for a 3-story house next to a yellow house for sale. on monday i search out some of the shipping agencies in the city….the address for evergreen shipping in san jose? \\\\\\\\\\\\\\200 metros norte de la rotunda de paso ancho, edificio improsa, 2d0 piso\\\\\\\\\\\\\\” (http:\/\/www.evergreen-shipping.us\/egsweb\/jsp\/officelist.jsp) perhaps one of the most ridiculous ones….the directions to larisa’s old house were to go 20m up the block from the old walnut tree — which has probably not been there for 50+ years. so how do people get mail? po boxes. ”<\/p>\n
