Getting Ready to Launch – 5 January 2018

5 January 2018 – My goal for today was to find a route around the City of San Jose, Costa Rica and build a route in Blanche to take me around the city like she knows where she’s going. No trips over hill and dale. It will mostly be Autopista driving, which will be nice. I built the route and it works. There’s one glitch where she goes to a roundabout, does a 180 degree turn, drives back about 1-1/4 mile / 2 Kilometers to another roundabout, does a 180 degree turn and drives back down the same highway. I sometimes don’t follow her craziness. I kept trying to get that out of her until I ran out of battery. So I guess I’ll have to live with it. Have I mentioned that she’s a little finicky sometimes?

I took a trip over to Walmart which is also next to the Marriott Courtyard. I thought I was in one of the Walmarts is the U.S.A. I purchased my usual and reached into my piggy bank again and withdrew some more money. I found something I haven’t treated myself to in months. I found 1 pint / 473 mL of Haagen-Dazs ice cream. It was Strawberry Cheesecake. I ate the whole thing in one setting. I also ate one of my fresh loaves of bread with a banana. I then watched two English speaking movies and went to bed.
