Always an adventure! Every week we visit our favorite Veterinary Store in Liberia on our way home to the mountain farm. These are not the veterinary clinics you would think of in Canada or the US rather they are like the old general stores of the past. Yes, there is usually a veterinarian on staff to look after small animals and recommend treatments for large animals. But the store itself is a conglomerate of animal feed supplies, horse tack, boots, hats, hardware supplies, baby chickens, animal medicines and just about anything to do with gardening. Quite a mix. Always lots of fun, crowded with customers and busy as a bee hive! Don Victor (in the middle picture above) is the owner of this operation and always a pleasure to work with. A typical nice Tico eager to please and help out. All merchandise is behind the counter so you need to walk up to the till and list out what you want. The clerks then yell out to the staff your order. You go the caja and pay the bill then on to the next counter where your order is filled. A little confusing but always amusing:-) When in Liberia take in some of the local atmosphere and head for the Super Veterinary store just south of the main town square and church. See you there on Fridays!!!
