Afternoon in Grecia

We took a day trip with our friends Emma and Jon today. Grecia's claim to fame seems to be its red metal church, which was shipped from Belgium in pieces in the 1890's. They also claim to be the cleanest town in Central America. We had some good bocas in a plain and comfortable bar/restaurant, enjoyed the attractive parque central, which actually has grass instead of concrete, had ice cream and came home. The museum was closed. Funny thing is that before we moved to Costa Rica, Gene had it in his mind that we would end up in Grecia (this just from reading about it). I always thought of it as a pleasant little town. After spending an afternoon there, I've decided it's too big and too busy. I still like Santo Domingo de Heredia - or perhaps Barva. But it's a pretty place.
