Wrapping things up in Costa Rica. Went today to help my cousin get some paperwork he needed for taxes and zoning or something. Those things are always fun - especially in a different language. Turned out in the end he really didn't need me as much for that as to buy dog food in a pet store. Hahaha.
We planned to spend the afternoon in the water but there is a horrendous wind that feels like a hurricane outside, so we're stuck indoors.
Tonight someone is picking me up at 1:30 in the morning to take me to the bus station. The bus leaves at 4:00 a.m. If all goes as planned I should be back in Tegucigalpa by 8:30 tomorrow night. My landlords are meeting me at the bus station in Tegucigalpa. They are so good to me! I hope the bus is on time.
It's been great to be with my cousin and his wife. We haven't been able to do this before, so it was really nice. I had a lot of delicious meals, met some great people, had family time, got to serve the team from Virginia. Now it is time to go back to Honduras.
Among other things, I will miss the fact that people here spay/neuter their animals and treat them as we do in North America. I like seeing kids riding bicycles all over the place. It's super nice to be able to stroll on the beach without concern of being kidnapped or mugged. But I am eager to get back home to Jetty, my Honduran friends, and the kids at the Breakfast Program.
Tomorrow is the day Lourdes and Jairo go to renew their childrens' visas. I will spend my time on the bus praying for them when I am not sleeping. You may want to pray too. I'll tell you how it turns out for them.
Hope to make it back to Costa Rica again. It's been a lot of fun!
