Blur

Costa Rica has been kind of a blur for me. My broccoli situation kicked into high gear on the trip here and I've basically been sick the whole time here. As far as capital cities go, San Jose has been the best of Central America. Somehow though, this isn't the Costa Rica that I wanted to experience.

 

We went to an orphanage outside of SJ today. It was an amazing place...the nicest orphanage I've ever been to. They had 35 children spread out over 4 or 5 houses. They had 2 inground swimming pool, a huge covered sandbox, and lots of other great stuff.  The people who ran it were great. I don't know that it's the kind of place that needed a ton of help, but it's nice to see how things can be when they're done right.

 

For me, it was just nice to take the 70 min drive out of the city.  Tonight we're couchsurfing and having a good time, although we're party poopers and in early for a Friday night.

 

The big thing looming over us is our decision of whether or not to venture into South America.  It's going to be a pretty big expense and with the upheaval in Ecuador, a big chunk of our open doors are now closed. If we're all honest with ourselves, we know that there are opportunities that we wish we would have taken in Central America. I have a feeling that our work here isn't done.

 

I'll keep you posted.We're making a decision tonight.
