Wheee! I’ve had a fun few days. It’s time to catch you up on them! Was able to help two friends, have lunch with friends, and more! It doesn’t get much better than this! A Couple Nights Ago… I received an unexpected text from “Mao” (Mauricio, the English language teacher in […]

It’s Wednesday. There isn’t much news, but I’ll share what little there is with you. It shouldn’t take long! Yesterday things started happening here that we’ve been waiting for. For starters, the pest control people came by … and sprayed outdoors and in the garage, because it’s ant season here. I locked

It’s catch up time again. I’ve been vegging for the past few days, so there hasn’t been much need to report in. But today I have news, so here we go! I rode the bus to Grecia early this morning to get bloodwork and a urinalysis done at Clinica Sanchez. By bloodwork, I
I’m sitting on the back patio in my anti-gravity chair watching the day go by. The weather here in San Isidro de Grecia Costa Rica is about 75 degrees F., the wind is blowing a little bit off and on, and large birds — I think they’re eagles and buzzards (alternately) — are flying around.
