We apologize for our lapse in communication via our website. Unfortunately we had experienced some technical difficulties and were unable to edit the site. But here we are again, back bigger, bolder and hopefully better than ever.
For those of you who have lost track of us, we are still in Costa Rica. We will be here for another month and then we are off to Suriname on March 23. I'm really looking forward to it. We really haven't enjoyed Costa Rica as much as we had expected. The city is quite dangerous so we are quite limited to what we can do here. The weekends have been lots of fun. We have seen both the Caribbean and Pacific side and its beaches and spent much time in Costa Rica's rain forests. It is truly a beautiful place except for the thieves. We have done one extraordinary thing...we've learned Spanish. We took 4 weeks at Christmas and went to an intensive Spanish school. It was great. Kris has done wonderfully, I'm really proud of him. Unfortunately in Suriname they speak English and Dutch so the Spanish won't come in handy.
Work for both Kris and I has been going really well. Kris likes his job here and thankfully no long hours yet. I've been really busy. I have a few websites that I am working on right now. Mostly English speaking clients thankfully.
We have had houseguests quite steadily here in Costa Rica. My parents visited for two weeks in January and my two friends Jennifer and Angela were just here last week. My parents did all the touristy volcano tours and the beach. They had the time of their lives. The girls and Kris and I spent a good part of the week they were here on a beach on the Pacific coast called Jaco. It was nice and really great weather, so they went home with the necessary tans.
This weekend Kris' boss and his wife arrive from El Salvador for three weeks here on the project. We are looking forward to having some familiar faces around. As well, we are off to Belize next weekend for a quick 4 day diving trip. We are meeting a few friends from Bahamas....Mike, Nola and Karen. It should be a blast!!!. We'll keep you posted.
If you haven't noticed we have a new Chatboard, so please let us know what you think of our new site. Be careful, the whole world can see your comments. Welcome back friends....more soon.
Ana and Kris
