A couple of weeks ago, a few of us had to visit the American Embassy, and did we discover -- quite by accident! -- a wonderful block of shopping and the best Italian Restaurant ever in San Jose! If you are looking for a holiday treat for yourself, come along!
Date: Tuesday, December 21, 2010
Meet Up: 8 am at the Directo Bus Station in San Ramon in time for the 8:30 bus. Buy two bus tickets, one for the trip and one for the return (2,280 c total). This avoids lines in the SJ station.
Agenda: Visit Innovarte Design, a store which features modern wall art and furnishings with good prices; Mata Hari, a purveyor of East Indian and Indonesian furniture, lamps, decorative items; and La Artistica which is, well, just the biggest home furnishing store in Central America! For more info go to:

Lunch: Il Padrino Restaurante (menu at http://ilpadrinocr.com/ ) where the food was so good we almost cried at lunch, but we were having too much fun. You can have an excellent lunch for less than 10,000 c, but you can spend lots more with appetizers and wine, so be an informed consumer!
Special Note: Gentlemen are welcome, but they must pledge to be good shoppers, NO WHINING! We are going to look and look and look and look and maybe buy something, and look some more...
Expect: A one-hour bus ride to SJ, taxi to Rohrmoser (shared, about 3,000 c), walking in stores and in a five-block area, shared taxi back to Directo Bus Station (about the same cost) and arrive back in San Ramon about 4:30 pm.
More Info: E-mail Kathy Bell at kbellhfpasco@aol.com or call 8307-9059. No RSVP necessary, just Meet Up at the bus station as indicated above.
