All Alone
2/27/6
Jim and Gary returned to Sardinal. Jim went on an excellent ride through the mountains, and Gary took Spanish lessons. They stayed for lunch and said the meals were excellent. They enjoyed the people and the place so much, they returned on Tuesday for more. This time they took the 4×4 up a trail and were very impressed with the views, and the flora and fauna. Jim was happy that the naturalist was very knowledgeable about the birds, and that he carried a book to show Jim the pictures and the names of the birds. Sometimes they argued about the type of bird, and when Jim was right a couple of times he was happiest of all. When they left on Wednesday for San Jose, they had seen much of the country around here, and wanted to come back for more.
I renewed my passport at the Canadian Embassy in San Jose on Thursday. It was my understanding the closest embassy was in Guatemala, but I was happy to find one here, and the process was quick and painless. Then I drove Linda to the airport as she has returned to Canada for 3 more months. I can’t believe how much we’ve done in 3 months; construction, cleanup, paperwork, company, new friends, and the best holiday she ever had.
My car started making noises Thursday, and got worse on Friday. The mechanic looked at it yesterday, and thinks it might be the water pump. I will take it to Puntarenas tomorrow, as the surveyor is coming today to survey this lot for title registry, and the new lot next door, which came with title, but the markers are gone and the boundaries are in dispute already.
