... but we're not settled yet. At the moment we are all sort of floating in Costa Rica. The first week we returned we stayed in Progresso. Anne started going through her things, trying to decide what she should and could take with her when we move. Parviz visited with neighbors and tried to fix some of the solar panel units that either weren't working or weren't working very well. Laura and I did whatever we could that would help them. We've done some cleaning, organizing, cooking and visiting neighbors. One day we walked down to the bay to buy fish (and swim in the ocean). That was a fun day - Anne had warned us that it was a rather difficult hike, especially on the way back. Well, going down Laura and I thought "this isn't too bad." On the way back we decided never to doubt anything Anne says. The walk back is pretty much straight up without stopping - for about 2 1/2 hours. And it didn't help that we walked back in the middle of the day without much water. Another day, Laura and I went to a friend's house to ask her to make Guaymi dresses for us. I don't know when they'll be ready - but I can't wait!
But I'm ahead of myself - Laura is from Greece, but has German parents, and has been working in England for the past few years. She will be staying with us for about 6 months - until she decides where or whether to do her doctorate. She's great... actually we're going for a run at the moment so I'll finish the stories of our adventures another time.
But very quickly, at the moment we're in San Jose and will be for a few more days yet.
