Hi Everyone!

We haven't forgotten you. As you may know, Dave and Eben arrived here on Friday the 27th, so we have been busy being hostess. It's been fun to show them around Alajuela and let them experience the food and busses and all. They are adjusting so well that they are currently on the couch watching the Costa Rica-El Salvador futbol (soccer) game on television. Costa Rica is up by one point and there's lots of cheering and yelling going on.

We have already been on a little family trip to a place called Monteverde, up in the mountains and cloud forest. We saw lots and learned lots. Next week we will go to the Caribbean coast looking for critters and beaches. More details and pictures will come later.
