Gallo Pinto

Gallo Pinto
(guy-yo peen-toe)

or “spotted rooster" is one of Costa Rica’s most typical dishes. The dish varies by region, and by family, but is usually a combination of black beans, rice, onions, and cilantro.

Will Gallo Pinto sustain me through my heavy withdrawals from kim- chi fried rice? How long will I last before I start to comb the city over for McDonald's french fries?

Over the course of several months, I will be documenting the successes and 'fails' of a Korean-American extranjera (foreigner) living and exploring Costa Rica.

Isla Tortuga -> link to album

Took a wonderful day trip off about 3.5 hours west of San Jose.  Isla Tortuga is a private island off the west coast and you have to travel by a boat or ferry.  Thanks to my thoughtful boyfriend, I have a nifty underwater digital camera.  I was finally able to put it to the test when we went snorkling.  I”m still trying to get used to it as my hands were pretty shaky and there were so many fish that I kept getting distracted and kept just clicking away maniacally.
