... Its time to say goodbye

I am not sad. I mean... I have :

Almost been hit by numerous cars (and a few busses)

Had my hair done by a deaf mute cross-dresser (only after filling my head with lotion)

Eaten the sweetest Pineapple known to man (and papaya)

Showered outside (more than once)

Seen three volcanos (Been interested in 2)

Seen a woman with a billfold (yeah…like a man)

... Annie”(or the perv in Boomerang) Like a deep-low taunting snicker that would instantly incite shame within my very being. The waitress whisked my card away and before I knew it the card was back at the table. The waitress had a pen and stood there as I signed. I was relieved to know that the tip was included. I mean what is the tip in 4820.00?

Oh I know…a car.

Catalina and I walked through the mall. So there is tight and then there is ...

... out the pics I posted. Cute room.

The next day, I took another taxi to a restaurant where my shuttle to the Caribbean coast picked me up.

After a long drive, I am finally here!
It has taken me nearly 2 days just to arrive....needless to say I am tired.
So i will continue this blog soon...but this country is amazingly beautiful......so I know I will have lots to write about.

Bye for now-

... week and all the reading. Spanish is a bit similar but at least we’re given an idea of what work we have to do. I’ve been doing well in my classes; took my second Spanish test recently but I’m not sure how I did yet. I got an A on the first one so I guess I remember some things. A lot of the Spanish is coming back to me and I’ve been using it in my house a lot. The family speaks English fairly well, enough to understand me if I don ...

... br>El Sobrino had decided that he wanted to head straight to the Arenal Volcano area instead of spending some time in Monteverde as we had planned. We took him to a cafe where his bus was to pick him up. Now initially I thought my cousin´s desire for Arenal must have been due to the Hot Springs & spa scene there. However I learned that the decision to skip Monteverde was due to a clip he´d seen on You Tube, that showed a viginette of the ...

... to keep our feet dry. The walks though the forest were extremely hot wet and muddy , but an amazing experience to see all the trees fighting for the light, we even saw a tree that walks around to find the best light. The only problem was the wild life didn't mind coming into the room. One night Maja woke me up with " is that your hand on me ?" "err no, don't move I'll turn on the torch". I turn on the torch to see a Huge ...

... of his house. Carlos - a tall, very pleasant, easygoing young man (in his forties - a couple years older than our children). Carlos unlocked the gate to the covered and tiled "garaje" (garage or carport), then the door to apartment #2 itself. Clean, two-bedrooms, somewhat furnished, light, bright. . . and in our price range. THIS WAS IT! "When can we move in?" "When do you want to move in?" "TOMORROW!" "DEAL!"

... many first-world refugees, found her calling and has been here ever since. There were intricately woven baskets, some of which had taken years to make; animal figurines and jewelry carved out of vegetable ivory, a type of palm nut; drums, stamps, paintings, purses, and the usual array of knick-knacks. The masks in particular dazzled me; if I had two hundred dollars and three square feet of wall space to spare, I would have bought one. (If I had two thousand ...

... to keep the phone lines free, the nurses put a disconnected handset in her room, but that wasn't good enough. She's still with it enough to know when she's being conned, and even if she has no use for it, she wants a working phone. The nun thanked all of us for coming to work with the elderly. She said it takes a lot of love and patience to work with these people, and that they kept asking for us when we weren't there over the weekend ...

... started to get bumpy. I just kept looking out the window enjoying the view and trying to keep my mind on something other than turbulence. I arrived in San Jose without incident. The plane door opened and I went down the stairs and along the tarmac to get into the terminal. Once inside I knew I was going to need to find a cab to take me to the international airport. I quickly found a cab, hopped in and headed to the airport ...
