Costa Rica Journal - Thursday, 5-28-09

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.
