This will be a short post this week because I have to leave early. This weekend I again stayed in Bagaces because of the World Cup. On Friday I went with around with a couple of other people checking out the bars in Bagaces and the nearby city of Liberia. The variety of the bars is quite stunning, anywhere from a small square room to an open patio on a hill with a great view. There even was a casino in Liberia that Jim, the programmer that lives here but get paid an American salary, picked up a quick $150 at.

On Sunday it was the final of the World Cup. I watched the final in town with a group of people. There was a heavy rainstorm that knocked out a small part of the match, but the end of the game was fine. I am not sure why, but the Italians were the clear favorites here and everybody was happy when they won. It seems that everbody hates the French. After the match we went to the new pizzeria that just opened up in town a couple weeks ago. The family that owns it is Italian and they were very pleased about the results of the game. The pizza was also delicious.
