Thursday night – the Cohn Colony

Looooong hard day at work.I’m working at home most days while Diane is traveling so I’m home when Gabe gets here.. Today I stood at the counter and worked from the moment I got back from taking Gabe to school until 6PM. I think I walked to the fridge twice.. aside from that.. I stood there all day.. My brain was fried.

As soon as I was off work, Gabe and I took off for grocery shopping. it wouldn’t be a proper man cave with real snacks in the hose.. We were planning on shopping recklessly/. but we didn’t dare go into the store hungry.. so we stopped for a very delicious dinner at Mexicalis .. 

I couldn’t help making Diane a valentine in my left over black beans. 

Oce full, we headed over to the Grocery store. Gabe is an expert impulse shopper.. he made all the key choices. 

We got only essentials  !


We even got junk food for the dogs !

We also decided to try some new stuff including ‘FuFu’ whihc is used to make peanut butter soup..


Well. .that’ sit from here.. OH.. we got our first email and phone call from Diane.. here’s what she said:

Hi Everyone…
 
I made it to Costa Rica just fine.  This is my first day.  I was in Chair Pose at my first yoga class this morning watching a hummingbird flutter from hibiscus flower to habiscus flower.  That was after an evening of hearing howler monkeys.  So far I have seen racoons…monkeys…a few fast lizards…and some birds.  This area is at the end of their dry season and it really feels like it…dry dusty and the plant life is thirsty.
 
I could hear the ocean from the house I am staying at.  I have a lovely room with a shared bath with another person who is coming today.  Her name is Sister Cecile.  That should make you happy Dad!  I have met others at the house…all americans who are on extended stays for these trainings.  Oh the house has a visiting dog…similar to Reptar…only not crazy.  And they have an adopted cat named Luna who reminds me of the cat you found Max…small and skinny.  I warned them about kittens!
 
I walked to the beach early this morning however the surfers were already there.  There is a Billabong Surf School/Camp right there.   Fierce waves.
 
I heading off to a yoga class then the grocery store.  Love to all.   …diane

Glad you’re having fun my love.. ! We miss you !

OK. time for sleep.. Nite all.. Nite Sam
