As you may or may not know, I leave for Costa Rica in but one short day, and for two weeks which are bound to be too short by far. It has occurred to me several times since undertaking this epic journey that this is probably the most adventuresome thing I've ever done. Thanks to the help of my stalwart friends, I know how to ask about both bathrooms and parties in Spanish. Apparently, this is all I need to navigate the country. :P But honestly, several of you have passed along important words to know and I want to assure that they are well and properly committed to memory. And I do appreciate it, an awful lot. And if it puts your mind at ease at all, it seems my biggest worries are packs of wild pigs. My shots are up to date and I'm well-stocked with provisions, so I figure if I can find room in my pack for a pork cookbook, I can intimidate the pigs into leaving me alone. I may have to teach them how to read first.
I'm moved into my new home in Texas and, aside from taking all of my money, the area's been good to me so far. My housemate and I found a good church, there's plenty of everything in the area for just about anything I could conceive of needing, and it's 80 degrees in March. My tune may change come July, but on the other hand, we've got A/C and I'm a certified tech. Sweets!
Fair winds, following seas, and STAY FROSTY.
