Acclimating

It is definitely going to take us some time to acclimate to our new environment.  The house we are staying in is at a much lower elevation than where we are normally at when we have traveled to Costa Rica.  Even though it is only about 15 minutes from where we are normally are, it is a huge difference.  Add that in with peeps who are used to air conditioning and that = CRANKINESS.  I will say, it is 2:00pm here and we are on the downhill slide now.  There is a wonderful breeze coming through since it started raining about 45 minutes ago, and it is WONDERFUL!!!  One of the 2 houses we looked at yesterday is at a much higher elevation and was designed with no air conditioning in mind; still waiting to hear from the realtor.

So hot she was just in her undies : )

Our only supply of toys...but they are making it.

When it was so hot this morning I got the laptop out with the bright idea they could watch pbskids.org or stream something from Hulu, well not so.  Since our IP address has changed on our laptops we pretty much can't stream anything.  They have been having to take turns with the Ipad and the 5 toys that we have, well that and chasing iguanas.  

The kids have been chasing 3 iguanas.

Mammaw you would be proud of her singing.  

We tried to catch it on video, but she stopped when 

she saw us.  She was singing at the top of her lungs.

He is concentrating very hard.  Not a 

complaint from him at all today.

After lunch Leia was begging for a bath.  She was so hot I just gave her a cool bath, and she just kept smiling and saying, "Ahhhhhhhh."  Silly girl refused to put clothes on after her bath and just kept telling me, "Diaper, no clothes for nap."  Little stinker is sprawled out in her diaper on top of the covers snoozing.

This evening we are going to walk down the road to the little store and see if we can't get some sweet cold sodas for the kids.  Even with the crankiness today they are being troopers.  Have to remind myself they are only 7, 5, 4, & 2.  

David working on his lesson for tomorrow in his 

Costa Rican office.  He has a beautiful view in front of him.

David spoke with Myra, who we normally stay with when we are here, and we are to have services at her house at 1:00 tomorrow.  We will take a taxi into Atenas, then a bus to Altos de Naranjo.  The last bus from Altos leaves at 1:30, so we will take a taxi back from her house back to where we are staying.  It has been almost 3 months since they have had someone here with them.  They are very excited.  Can't wait for the kids to get to play and meet again.    

Too hot for makeup and hair fixing.  Just as we are : )
