From Kathy

Muchas gracias a nuestros amigos (de noviembre), Ray y Lynne, por su maravillosa hospitalidad en su Tico/Texas casa aqui en Atenas. La comida fue deliciosa y las bebidas eran especialmente apatecibles! (Thanking Ray & Lynne, 'old friends' we met last November here, for their wonderful hospitality last evening in their Tico/Texas home. The meal was delicious, and the drinks were especially scrumptious!). Looking forward to our road trip on Thursday. Spent most of today in Sarchi where the ox carts are made. I had delusions of having a large one in our back yard, but they are a bit pricey for me! Maybe will get a smaller one to put fake flowers in on the patio! They are beautiful, tho' It has been pouring rain here for a couple of hours altho' most of the day was sunny & nice. For those of you who cannot post comments, I will try to set up an account for us that you can log in to. Unfortunately, part of that process has converted itself to Spanish (due to our location, I'm sure, and I have no idea what it says!). The above was translated by the handy-dandy google translator! adios for now ~~
Linda, good luck with Cousins' Camp! Yes, being lost helps so much in enjoying local color!
