Finally an Update!
I know it’s been a long time since I have written. I’ve meant to write a few times and have had some stories all mapped out in my head but between unpacking, reading some good books, and competing for time on the computer, I just haven’t gotten around to it. Remember that we don’t have internet at home so it’s not so easy… Rest assured that no news generally means good news from me.
First, I thought I would like to let everyone know that we signed a purchase agreement for our house in Big Lake. We faxed off ten pages of documents Thursday (costing $23) agreeing that the family could rent our place starting that weekend and up to the closing date of November 30th. Friday we heard back from our realtor that all terms of the rental were agreed upon and he was meeting the family over the weekend to sign final documents and give them the keys. Fingers crossed that this transaction goes smoother than the duplex. All seems okay, though.
Next, I did add several posts today so just scroll down to see more regarding the rain, Santo Domingo, and the symphony.

Hi,
I’ve been reading and enjoying your blog for sometime now. I love how your posts truly connect to your readership. I’m interested to have an interactive/link-up/post with you. I’ve written a novel that is fully centered around Tamarindo, Costa Rica and am preparing to do a virtual blog tour. I would love an opportunity to participate on your blog.
However, my book ‘Turtle Feet, Surfer’s Beat’ is only a small part of what I’m trying to build. The book itself revolves around a typical suburban teen girl, Penelope, from the States that is forced to go to Costa Rica with her parents for her father’s job assignment. Involuntarily, her parents sign up Penelope and her little brother to spend two weeks at the Leatherback turtle biological station (for ‘their own good’) at Playa Grande. Penelope, obviously isn’t pleased but forgives the horrid accommodations and the never ending bug brigade as she sees the turtle and instantly pledges to do all she can to help it from extinction. But hang ten, dudes! Penelope is about to get help. One lonely night, as she’s patrolling the beach for turtle poachers she stumbles and falls directly into the arms of the Costa Rican surf champ. Together they dive into the world of surfing and marine preservation.
These days, we are constantly facing global problems that seem to be getting worse and worse daily. Living in Costa Rica, I’ve been inspired to take action. I started by writing this book and am now developing a community of teens, surfers, artists, scientist, and everyone else who is interested in working together to have fun while helping out.
I would love to join forces with you and your readers in a fun, interactive way. I will gladly write a post about your blog (and whatever you will like to plug:), plus a link with your blog to my website and blog in return for a small interview and a mention about the book.
Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Thanks so much,
Marina

Looks like you guys are having an amazing experience. Have missed seeing joxr online. Glad you got something done on BigLake. We are smoking hot in Houston now. Must be nice to have some cool weather in August.
See ya later.

Hey - I just found your blog through a different CR and was so happy in that we are also looking to possible move to CR and put our sons in the European School. We will be in San Pablo de Heredia in December - would love to meet you for coffee if it's not too weird for you and if you're able. Please Please Please (!) contact me at iushad (at) yahoo (dot) com. Thanks so much - Shadia from Maryland.
