Lost in Translation

We're in Semana Santa ("Holy Week") here. During this week half of San Jose leave for the beach and the other half get together with relatives. We had classes Monday through Wednesday but have the rest of the week off.

Our two paseos last weekend were excellent. Costa Rica truly is a tierra bendita ("blessed land"). The volcano we saw was interesting, although the botanical garden was even more incredible. Picture about fifty acres of every conceivable plantlife . . . a bamboo forest, leaves the size of Lucas, drop-dead gorgeous flowers of every color. I always praise God when I see his creation!

We also visited a nice restaurant with our group. Costa Ricans know how to cook!

The kids have still been sick, but we're praying that things are getting better.
