Greetings from Hotel Buena Vista.. just outside of San Jose Costa Rica in the mountains.. about 4-000 feet up. In spite of being at 8 degrees from the equator. .it’s actually kinda cool here.. It’s w2onderful to be here after  a long day of travel

Gabe found a freind to play with in the JFK airport..

The flight was smooth and uneventful.. about 5 and a hlaf hours…
Here’s Cuba !

We got in around 6.. spent about an hour wokring on the car rental and got tp the hotel around 8pm. .. Max had arrived here about 2PM.. he was there waiting for us. It was so wonderful to see him there !..   We had only 20 min to catch dinner.

It felt good to sit down as a family … Both Diane and I had the instant reaction.. we should be five..

We had a wonderful time..

I ordered casado.. ‘weeding’>. the traditional Costa Rican meal.. rice, beans and soemthing else.. plantains.. and hot sauce.. yum !

Now we’re back in the room. getting ready for an early start down the coast tomorrow..

This is our last civilization for awhile.. so we’re really enjoying it..

Tomorrow we’ll be in Domincal.. then further down the coast..   More then

Night all.. Nite Sam.. it’s nice to be here.. we miss you..
