Pizza Day

We're on our way into San Jose today. Our 7-yr old has requested a pizza party for his birthday with his friend at A La Lena Pizzeria. The best gourmet pizza in town. So we're off to explore a museum downtown and the Mercado Central and then follow it up with pizza. Should be fun! The downside is that we'll be driving the Hill of Death road at night to come back. But hey, that's part of our life.

Saw a toucanet yesterday and more quetzales. Have been having fun with my parents these last few days: bird-watching, horseback riding, pruning roses. With any luck we'll get in at Alexander Skutch's place that has been turned into a research center. http://www.cct.or.cr/en/cusingos.htm

The bridge is almost ready. Just some welding of handrails (If the welders come. Not sure what has happened to them. They're two days late.) Then it has to sit for a month for the concrete to cure. But it looks great. Speaking of sitting, we had planned to be on the road by now, but have had to wait to fix a leaky pipe with parts that we don't have. A group in late last night discovered their bathroom floor to be a lake.

Just having a discussion about cold hard butter on toast, cold hand lotion and toothpaste that doesn't squeeze because it's cold. Last night was milder--it only got down to 10C.

Have fun today!
