At around 7:00 am, we dropped off our friends at the bus station in Guatuso. It was sad parting, but I think they were ready to continue their journey North. Heather was meeting her sister in Guatemala in the next few days and I know she was very excited about that.
The house seemed rather quiet and empty with them gone, so we decided to go for a walk. After a turn down the road, we came to the river. There wasn't much of a swimming hold there, but we got in anyway and refreshed ourselves in the cool water for a little while.
On our way back home, we ran into a farm worker who was very happy to show us all the animals on the land that he worked. After our little tour, we went back home and got ready for our dance class next door.
Today we started to introduce ourselves as Anna and Jose. We think this will help people remember us and they will be able to pronounce us much easier. Ann is my middle name so it fits. We introduced ourselves to Eduardo's mother this way as we stopped in at the market, and we also told people at the dance class to call us this.

Costa Rica Journal - Wednesday, 5-27-09
Nothing much happened today. We all stayed in as Kevin and Heather would be leaving the next day. After breakfast, we played a little music and planned out bus routes. Later in the afternoon, Fred came by with another bikeforums member who was on vacation with his girlfriend. We all ended up going to Alfonso's for dinner.
It was a nice few hours, then it was time for them to return to their hotel. Fred came back over to our house and spent another few hours talking to Kevin and Heather about their plans to build a sustainable community. Joe drove him home after the darkness began to creep in.

The tow main goals of today were purchasing ingredients for tonight's dinner and finding a place to go swimming. We decided to head for Lake Arenal and we found a nice swimming spot near the bridge where we spent some time there getting wet, laying out in the sun, and playing music. The setting was a small beach that had quite a lot of litter on it. We cleaned it up as best as we could, all of the garbage was washed up from the lake, so its only a matter of time before its dirty again.
After swimming, we went to La Fortuna and bought some dinner ingredients and then made our way back to Guatuso. While we were driving, a police man pulled us over because Kevin and Heather were in the back of the truck. He let us go and told us to be careful.
Soon we were back home again and we began to prepare our dinner. Kevin worked on the fish and veggies for the tacos, Heather made a huge bowl of guacamole and I made some fresh limeade. Everything was ready by the time the Morgans came over. It was delicious and we talked for a few hours after we ate. Before they left, Amy helped us clean up. They seemed happy and content.
