Hola, All! Como estan? On June 26, the day I left to come here, I struck up a conversation, in Spanish, with a woman named Marta at DFW. I probably only talked to her for 30 minutes or so when she went to buy a travel pillow for the airplane. She had visited someone in North Carolina and had a layover at DFW. I waited for her to return before boarding because I know what it´s like to be in a different country by yourself and not speak the language well (Guatemala). As we were walking down the ramp to board the plane, she gave me her phone number in Costa Rica, and asked for mine. The only number I had was the number of the lady, Virginia, whom I stayed with in Monteverde. Six days later, after I returned from eating dinner with Allison and Kerry, Virginia told me that Marta had called! Then she called back the next morning and invited me to visit her. I told her that I would call her in 10 days, when I was in Heredia. On Monday of this week, I called Marta (Carmen talked to her too) and she invited me again to visit her for the weekend! She lives with her husband and 2 older children in a different city. I´m really not sure how far it is but I don´t think it´s very far. Anyway, the wonderful couple that I live with is taking me to Marta´s house on Saturday, then Marta will bring me back on Sunday. It´s another adventure for me! I´m really excited to get to spend time with another family in Costa Rica. I will let you know how it goes on Monday.
Chao for now!

wow - what goes around comes around - you "sowed good seed" and now you have a new friend and yet another adventure! I am so sorry I missed your call this morning. I had not put my phone in my pocket yet so missed the call :(. We are at Will's house now and were visiting over breakfast. Will had another seizure last week - he is bruised but OK, although upset he had another one after none for 23 months.
