Hello blog-followers and admirers from the States. Today was a good first day for Kristen and I. We spent most of the day with Sam (who took a bus, another bus, walked, then took a taxi to find us at our hostel) walking around San Jose in the various parks here. Some of the city is quite pretty, while some of it reminds us of how rundown and lacking upkeep Rome was.
We walked for a few hours and then met up with Anna after her class at the Universidad Latina. From there we went to her Costa Rica home and met her family, who are very fun. Sam and Kristen spoke marvelously with them (Sam has been told a couple times that he's as good as the Ticos here, although he insists its more credit than he deserves. Which is probably true.) Anna and I do a lot of listening. I'm able to understand much of what is said, but I have little confidence in speaking yet. That'll come.
Anna insists that she will write on the blog here at some point (since she's been here much longer than the rest of us...) but it's still a work in progress.
Kristen and I go to Sam Ramon today to see the orphanage and meet our host mom and her kids. We're pretty excited after meeting Anna's family.
Peace and blessings to all of you. Thank you for your prayers and thoughts.
This is the online journal of the Sioux Falls folks who are spending some time in Costa Rica this year. Keep tabs on what we're up to, what we've seen, who we've met, and all sorts of fun things!
Sam, Ben, Kristen, and Anna

I need to learn how to do this since my high school freshman will be doing some blogging soon. Do all of you see all of the comments?
It's so fun following your adventures. I have a magazine that just arrived with a feature on Costa Rica that I will bring to church tomorrow to give to your mom, Sam and Ben. I look forward to hearing more about your southern adventure. God bless you all.
