I am getting a cooking lesson

We will get back to that. Otto arrived very punctually at 10:00am and left about 11:30am. Another great massage. He said my neck is opening up and I can't believe how good my shoulders feel. Now if we just get my leg pain free I will be good all over. Jose got here about 12:30pm and Gerardo showed up also. With Mounds Bars in hand, I explained my thoughts to Jose and he relayed them to Gerardo. They did a lot of talking and discussing with Jose asking me a question now and then. Apparently there is a group of seniors who do all kinds of crafts and Gerardo thinks that is the place to start. He knows the lady in charge and he is going to contact her about me showing them how to make the dream catchers. I will have to bring Katherine along as communicating will be a problem. He thinks these ladies may be interested in what the shop in Cartago is offering. It would be a way to get the word spread. Jose spoke about an institute in each province that has instructors for all different things and if you get a group together they will send an instructor for free. We may be able to start something where once or twice a month we can offer a class that would be very reasonable because the instructor is free. It was a great start. Nothing much will happen as far as a class until I get back from the states the middle of September. 
Now - cooking. Jose told me about a cooking school in Cartago not far from the bus stop that sells all kinds of chocolate. They all wanted to know how to make the Mounds Bars and I told Gerardo I would trade him. I would teach him the bars and he would teach me the Rice Pudding. I also said I wanted to learn how to make the tortillas. He called Ana over and she is going to teach me tomorrow morning at 8:15. She is also going to teach me how to make rice and beans. I'm becoming a Tica!
