Good Day
Today has been our busiest day so far. It's a Catholic holiday here in Costa Rica and most of the big companies have the day off, including the banks, but it's not a required 'pay' holiday. That was Monday.
For the past three days or so people have been making the pilgrimage to Cartago and the big church there, which has healing waters. I went last year on a sightseeing trip. I remember then wondering what all the people were doing walking on the pista (highway); then there were the horses. This year my store is on one of the main routes into Cartago and thousands of people have noticed it for the first time. Thank you Jesus.
We're the only place open in our little four-store strip mall, and up until two hours ago the only customer we had was for a return, and they changed their mind and kept the item after we told them how to wash it. Since then it's been pretty busy, though only one big sale and a layaway. Still, I'm calling it a good day.
