Well, the entire team has finally arrived to the beautiful country of Costa Rica, but not without some adventure. While the Davidsons, Yoakums, and Mark were supposed to fly to San José together, it ended up that Mark went first (at 11:30 am), with the two families following close behind (at 6 pm). It is a long story, but two phrases just about sum it up: “rain delays” and “missing passport” - yeah, pretty stinky. Then, the Thompsons and Fletchers left the next day, both knowing that they would be moving into temporary housing, since their rental houses are still under construction. Apparently construction projects down here aren´t always finished on time…

But, we are all here in San José, Costa Rica, adjusting to our new home - or should I say, nuestra casa nueva. Either way, we are setting up our houses, paying rent, locating stores, buying groceries, learning about the city, and trying to figure out how to say what we need to in Spanish. The process of adjustment has begun, and it looks like it will be one fun (and sometimes stressful) adventure!
