Here we are!!!

Hello, from Costa Rica!! This is my first chance to blog since we arrived here in San Jose. We practically left immediately for the village of Llano Verde up north, just below Nicaragua.  But being OCD like I am, I will start from the beginning, which was over a week ago, and show you what we have been doing here for over a "week. 

the team...waiting...in Acme

Here we are, waiting at the church to load up and head for the airport...a nice warm day (hot, for home).

We loaded into 3 vehicles and were driven to Seatac. Check-in went well, the layover in LA was painless  and short.  The trip from LA seemed so long and cramped but everyone was awesome about everything.

Here we are on the other end, waiting again. Waiting for the missionaries to pick us up from the airport in Costa Rica. The weather was about the same as home but muggier. We got to Wisdoms', our missionary friends down here, about breakfasttime. They had breakfast waiting for us and then we had team devotions and a million chores getting ready to head out to Llano Verde for the coming week.

in Wisdom's back yard

you know you're not at home when you see this growing in the back yard!! bananas with their "flower"...

or this! a coconut fallen on the  ground and a new tree growing out of it... it's not even planted, for heaven's sake!!   Well since blogger is messing with me, that's all the patience I have for today... I'll post some more tomorrow. Our next adventure was shopping at the farmers' market. manana...til tomorrow.
