Last night, Saturday the 13th of September, Brother Jim took the volunteers and Costa Rican Friars out to a dinner for their generous hospitality to us throughout our stay. Fr. Victor selected a an Argentine Steakhouse called "Donde Carlos" and it was "muy rico." We had excellent conversation around the table, and enjoyed the fellowship of eachother.
I met some friends from the gym, and they were having a party, so later that evening, the volunteers and I went to our first "Costa Rican Fiesta." It was interesting to say the least; I expected it to be difficult to communicate, but it was far easier than I had imagined. They were very interested about life in the states and my degree in Intelligence Studies; so that was the brunt of our conversations. I met a guy studying law in Costa Rica, so we talked briefly about how it differs from the U.S. It's good to know that a week in country and we have some local acquaintances to chill with.
As for today, mass in the morning followed by an awesome "almuerzo" (lunch) at the Friary. I'm looking forward to tomorrow, being it is the Independence Day of Costa Rica; lo pasara bien

Hi Ed, I love this new technology. Allowing us to keep in touch, knowing how your life in CR is progressing. To think, not that long ago we had to write letters (imagine). Sound like you're settling in just fine. Keep us posted. It's great.Love Grandma S
