Better day here at Copper. <\/p>\n

The day began with a cake we’d made last night.. For some reason.. the boys felt like making a cake..\u00a0 Kinda out of the easter spirit.. but we desperately needed the sugar. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Here are the little darlings.. I think they’re feeling a little rebellious <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

The boys were able to get out and ride the mountain on their own. Gabe<\/p>\n

really liked the big spaces here. I spent the morning working.. then<\/p>\n

went on a 4 mile run.. not that far.. but with the altitude it felt like it. Actually.. I feel pretty well acclimated.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

The guys had a few hours to try out the courses.. they were big and tough.. but I guess it was fun . <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

This afternoon was the opening cermony for the USASA finals.. more than 1500 kids.. each tema had created a uniform of some sort.. it was really cool <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Here’s our motley crewe<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

At 5:30 they started the parade. took an hour to get them through.. very cute though . <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Here are our guys.. looking good\u00a0 and backwoodsey !<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Afterwords we came home to rest up.. The boys pointed out these fall lines on an adjacent moutnain.. The snow\u00a0 spells out ‘SKY”.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Can you see it ? <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Just about to dive into some nachos.. with the kids.. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Oh.. we heard from Diane.. This morning she left Liberia .. and now she’s in a hotel in Liberia awaiting her early morning plane .. She’s basking in the AC right now.\u00a0\u00a0 Here’s what she said !<\/p>\n

Hi Everyone…<\/p>\n

I am sitting here at the airport Hilton in AC and it feels good.\u00a0 The hotel is stranded on in no man’s land near the airport….a bit isolated.\u00a0 I have sat briefly by the pool…took a short boring hot walk and ate popcorn in my room channel surfing.\u00a0 I have to get up at 4:00 AM or a 5:00 shuttle to the airport so it is best to be here for the night.\u00a0 I get into Vermont about 10:30 at night.\u00a0 Long travel day.<\/p>\n

Yesterday was wonderful.\u00a0 We had great sessions to tie up any loose ends.\u00a0 Last night was graduation and it was perfect.\u00a0 I have some pictures.\u00a0 I am not as handy getting them off the camera like John however I will share some.\u00a0 For graduation we give each other the diplomas and then there is love passed all around.\u00a0 Nice…very nice.<\/p>\n

We ended the night with our usual watermelon talk session…in yoga it’s called satsung.\u00a0 Yesterday Sister Cecelia, Lori and I make a dessert replica of a scorpion to thank Gary and Sho for being the scorpion removers.\u00a0 It was fun and they so appreciated it.\u00a0 We must have gone to bed after midnight.<\/p>\n

Oh…in addition to all the sweet things John did for my birthday he also got someone to pick me a bouquet and made a card.\u00a0 I think he is nicer than I am.<\/p>\n

This morning we went to the last 6-8 yoga class.\u00a0 I was perfect to start my travels with.\u00a0 Then I had to be at the end of a trail for Danielle (from LA) to give me a ride to the hotel as she made her way to the airport.\u00a0 Her family built a house about 7 years ago in Nosara.\u00a0 Her husband enjoys surfing and they both love the beach.\u00a0 They also wanted to give their kids exposure to a different culture.\u00a0 They live in LA and make their way here for summers (really it is a nice time to be here…green) and holidays.\u00a0 Nice…huh?<\/p>\n

Anyways we have all been alerted about potential crimes with the influx of Easter week vacationers.\u00a0 They put everything in her room because it is the safest…however it was broken in while we were at graduation.\u00a0 Her guests lost most….ipods…iphones…cameras.\u00a0 The computers were in a safe and that was tampered with yet not opened.\u00a0 Bummer.\u00a0 She didn’t care about that stuff only the cute necklaces she had picked out for her girls.\u00a0 Those things mattered…the rest was just stuff.\u00a0 A pain none the less.<\/p>\n

We were suppose to meet a driver in Nosara however he was delayed due to the holiday weekend traffic.\u00a0 So we pushed on and got here in plenty of time.\u00a0 It was good to talk since I didn’t get to know her very well at the training.\u00a0 It also was fun to see all the sites in the daylight.<\/p>\n

I must say this hotel makes me think about the end of the Colony.\u00a0 I will have hot water for a bath tonight.\u00a0 And I will get room service and watch junky TV.\u00a0 I know all this will help with my re-entry into the real world.\u00a0 I have left the jungle!<\/p>\n

Love to all.\u00a0 I am looking forward to Vermont and hugging my boys and doggies.\u00a0 love…diane \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/font> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/div>\n
