Movie Time: Rápido y Furioso


We finally had a chance to break away for a bit to go and see a movie. . . The nearest movie theatre is in Ciudad Quesada (also known as San Carlos) about 20 minutes away . . . It's a tri-plex, and our options (or so we thought) were: The Fast and the Furious 4; Escape from Witch Mountain; and Dragon Ball Z. . . It wasn't a hard choice, as only the Fast and Furious 4 was in English, the other two were dubbed in Spanish. . . It didn't hurt that Lucy is a huge Vin Diesel fan. . . Cost per person for the movie: 1800 colones (the exchange rate is around 560 colonoes to the dollar, so you can do the math); cost for popcorn, two sodas and nachos: 3800 colones. . . not a bad deal at all. . . At the concession stand, after we ordered our snacks, they gave us a big plastic tray/carrier, so we didn't have to try to balance everything while walking into the theatre. . . Wolverine is supposed to show up there on May 1, so we'll try to catch that and hope that it will be in English with Spanish subtitles. . .
