As most of you know, Jennie and I spent our honeymoon in Costa Rica. We stayed at the Hotel Parador in Quepos for 9 days. This hotel was amazing in so many ways, but I was very impressed with their free breakfast. I can't think of anyplace, outside of my own kitchen, that I have eaten this good for breakfast. Oh, and did I mention that it was FREE!?

Here is what I loaded up on the first morning we were there:

• Bacon
• Omelette with Cheese and Mushrooms
• 2 Hard Boiled Eggs
• Small Cup of Fresh OJ
• Multiple Cups of Black Coffee

One plate of this goodness simply wasn't going to do so I went back and reloaded with this:

Same stuff as the first time, but I added a couple pieces of fresh pineapple and papaya this time.

Comments:

The bacon was fatty and greasy, just as any good bacon should be. I don't know what kind of cheese they use in Costa Rica, but it was right up my alley. It was a mellower white cheese that had the consistency of string cheese at room temperature. Perfect in an omelette if you ask me. Their coffee is very strong in flavor. I would even argue that it had more flavor than the espresso at Starbucks. Because of this, I had a minimum of 2 cups with every breakfast. As for the OJ, I decided that my honeymoon is a once in a lifetime event so I treated myself to something that I never have anymore. Oh, and it was worth it.
