hello heredia!

This is week two of six for me here in Heredia...my group of tween-age boys continues to impress, being super tranqulios and enjoying soccer during thier morning break. Tomorrow and Wednesday they have a few tours without me, but I think it will be a nice breather and hopefully I can get some other office work out of the way.

Today in the afternoon we went to La Carpio. We painted houses and re-touched one in a local neighborhood, and then came back to our meeting point for a final presenation given by the women of the Costa Rican Humanitarian Foundation and then we took off back towards San Joaquin de Flores, with the rain right on our heels and a traffic jam in the works as we escaped the San José area...! Below a photo.

I got to talk with my Mama Tica and we are hoping to make a pumpkin pie sometime this week...! All we have to do is get the filling. I am going to go to an upscale supermarket tonight with a compañero and look for it...! 

During the weekend I had a chance to go home and it was great! E and I were able to relax at home Saturday and it was a great chance to recharge my batteries. Not that my group is really stressful...but this is definately a crazy week here in CPI Grupos! And I need all my wits about me. Speaking of wits...time to collect them and head back to the little chaperone apartment and make myself some tea. 

PURA VIDA!!!
