La Pura Vida

We're here! I'm sitting by the infinity pool, looking through the palm trees, at the waves crashing in the Pacific ocean. We just returned from a two-mile hike to Lola's, a cantina on Playa Avellanas, where we sat under the coconut and palm trees and ate the best nachos I've ever had. Played in the ocean a bit, slept in the hammock, and watched the variety of people who trekked their way to this slice of paradise.

Yesterday, one of the hacienda pinilla employees took us to the Auto Mercado for groceries. It was wonderful to have him explain the products, and the cost (!)--saved a lot of time. At the top of our grocery list was CR pineapple--had it for dinner last night and were not disappointed!

We called Ray Zirkel, the CR missionary we will work with and he gave us directions to Alajuela (outside San Jose). We plan to visit the Arenal Volcano on Monday, get up early Tuesday to go to San Jose from there to work with the mission team from mid-TN and Ray.

The fruit of the Spirit for today is peace. Thanks be to God!

When I figure out how to upload pics, will do!
