One more day!

Today I walked to town by myself and picked up the tickets back to San Jose for Sunday morning at 9:00am. I kept walking and shopping to see if I could find another dress. I love these dresses - yes, I now have two. I may never wear anything else. They are so comfortable in the heat. I also bought a wall decoration to brighten up my guest bedroom.

We were planning on doing some sightseeing this afternoon but it started raining really hard so we have a driver picking us up at 9:00am tomorrow. We are heading south from here.

We did look over the other house here and it is great. Two bedrooms and two bathrooms with a great kitchen including a 6 burner stove with an oven. The living/dining area is all outside on a big big big covered deck. It is very reasonable to rent. I like the location of this house better but the other house is nicer. They have all kinds of plants and trees growing and one she calls a peanut butter tree. She says the fruit on it tastes like peanut butter. She is going to give me a shoot.

We did play a few games of Quiddler today and I can't say I won them all. The last game he was ahead the whole game and I just managed to have a really high scoring hand the last hand and managed to win by a few points.

It has to rain to keep paradise green.

Now is this dress me or what!

Now I have a story. Today the craft ladies posted this picture on their what'sapp page.

This is a 14 year old girl going through chemo and wearing a hat made by one of the ladies in Paraiso.

I asked Emilio to put a message for me, in Spanish, that this touched my heart and blessings to all of them. Their response was to thank me for giving them the motivation.

I have trouble explaining how this made me feel. That with my leftover yarn and scarves and what I could teach them about making the hats I was able to help these ladies use their talents and get involved in a project to help others that would allow them to feel so good about what they were doing. As I was trying to explain it to Emilio, we were both sitting here with tears in our eyes. 

We went to Kaya's place for dinner because we have eaten most of what we have here. I had the best French fries I have had in a very long time. We had to be a little careful on the road as there were lots of big puddles.

It has been a great week and although I will be happy to be home again, I have enjoyed this area and the people I have met.
