Greetings from Costa Rica
 
Orbitz.com is offering fares right now that are $100 to $150 off comparable airfares to Costa Rica and they’re good for travel up to June 15. But you must hurry if you want to take advantage of this bargain because these seats will go fast. Also they must be booked by May 5th.

Here are sample fares from a few cities but others are available.

Fort Lauderdale - $165

Atlanta - $278

New York - $298

Washington DC - $298

Chicago - $336

 
The roof is going on our latest house and will be complete in less than two weeks. We have used these plastic roofs before and feel they are one of the best products on the market. However we have just made contact with a new company that will supply hand made roof tiles for a very competitive (yes even lower) price. More on this later.
 

We invited this couple to lunch so they brought a small bouquet of flowers from their garden. What gracious and generous people these Tico’s are.

I had car trouble the other day and discovered that  my insurance includes two free tows per year. While waiting for the truck a friendly policeman stopped to help and today he stopped at the house to see if everything was O.K. He’ll be back later for a cup of coffee.  It seems to me that even though there is no crime in the area it doesn’t hurt for people to know we have a friend on the local Police Force.

 
Also one of the local pastors visited recently with one of his members. Here my secretary and translator, Gloriana, shows them around the building site
