Rainne and Di are here!

The girls have landed!

Rainne and Di arrived by Taxi today (Daniel, same guy who drove us for 2 hours from Liberia), with great big grins. :D

We went to the beach, they splashed in the waves, ooo-ed at the big driftwood, cool birds, and a gorgeous sunset. They wish me to tell the girls at home that they are very much enjoying the scenery on the beach.

After a good session of giggles, talking, and bug smashing (Di's particularly good at that, especially the cockroach that flew out at her when she made her bed), wwent to bed.

Their huge plans for the day on Wednesday are to head to the beach and KICK BACK.

4:15

Di and I should've gotten up and hung out. Neither of us slept well. I think her bed is not very comfortable. We'll remedy that for tonight. The howler monkeys and all the other noises made her feel like she's in a zoo. It's kinda freaky.

Our plans changed a bit. We had a slow morning, I, getting some blogging done on the balcony, and the rest slept in. We headed out to the shops and checked out all the cool Tico stuff. Lots of carved wood and locally made jewelry.

Decided to head up to a different grocery store than we'd gone to before. It's got a lot more there than the mini super, but the walk is very hot. Erroll hung back and did homework, so all the girls hauled our heavy load back. We'll eat well for a few days, light fair, but nutritious. Our recent food intake has been very light. It's easy to not eat as much with the heat.

I just left the rest of them at the little pool, and came to check my emails. Nothing from Mariano. Another day gone. More waiting.
