day six–pre-munchkin meeting w/ CRAN
We had our “meeting” this morning in the hotel lobby. CRAN’s director, Ximena, is a wonderful lady. We are so glad to finally have met her. She brought with her Maria Cristina, Wynette, and Jairo who are the children’s psychologists and social worker. Wow, I was so impressed with the details they were able to give… Continue reading day six–pre-munchkin meeting w/ CRAN
day five–church in colombia
684688Â Sunday we spent at church. It was a pretty relaxed day. Oh, we did look at one other apartment too, but I think it is too small for the eight of us. Everyone at church was so very nice. Daniel Trujillo, our new friend and translator, came over to the hotel and rode in… Continue reading day five–church in colombia
friendly angels
652 What a treat! Jaime Lynne, Jena, and Val all came to help me pack, sort, and put away the children’s clothing before our trip. They also helped organize my craft/school room. My dear friends donated their time and talents to me and my children without me having to ask. I treasure my friendship with… Continue reading friendly angels
day four–La Candelaria and ice cream
615 We spent Saturday sightseeing in the historic district of the city, La Candelaria. There are many old beautiful buildings from colonial times.

This area… Continue reading day four–La Candelaria and ice cream

He is the one that gave us those great first impressions of the children’s learning abilities. Mario studied in London for two years and speaks very good English. We are so grateful to have found him.… Continue reading day 3–meet the english tutor
day 2–we’re here
541We landed safe and sound. I snapped a couple of pics standing in the immigration line. The TACA flight attendents were very cordial and professional. Mom was so impressed that they would ask her if she wanted the whole bottle when they would pour her soda. And the breakfast was actually really good. (no red… Continue reading day 2–we’re here
blast the red suitcases
521524 Uh yeah, that really was all of our luggage. And yes, I really was everything I hate about inexperienced travelers. I was weighted down by luggage and I was whiny. But give me a little credit…two of the suitcases came with my mother, and I had good reason to be whiny. Do you see the… Continue reading blast the red suitcases
butterflies and mountains
Can anyone tell me why the San Jose airport has Free Wi-Fi, but LAX does not? Whatever the reason (and I have a few thoughts on the matter), I am grateful that Costa Rica offers the service. That means I can write this post en route to Bogota. I did have the usual pre-travel jitters,… Continue reading butterflies and mountains
