Information
Give me long distance
Long distance

But I digress. The point of this post is to share my new discovery:
there IS information here in Costa Rica: dial 113! Today I got Pizza
Hut’s number and ordered pizza. Man, this is living. And why did I
think there was no information number? Because the last time I asked a
group of Expats In The Know, they pointed and laughed hysterically,
shaking their heads "No!" Laughs on them. They gotta drive to pizza hut
and get the number. "HA."
