We’ve arrived!

October 24th, 2009 by doug

We have arrived at our new home in Costa Rica. We arrived late Thursday night after a wonderfully problem-free trip. We are living in an apartment for the next eight weeks until we can move into the house we will live in for the next year. We have begun exploring the city, finding the market, the grocery store, and the Costa Rican version of Big Lots. This will be a great place to live. Here are some pictures from our trip and the new place…

We’ll keep this blog updated as new things happen. We begin our language tutoring and Avalyn starts school at 7:30 Monday morning. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. Keep in touch!

    It appears that you are living in the apartment that I was in for the 2tris I was in language school.I thought they were putting you with a host family??

    None of the families with children are living with host families. We are in this apartment until December, when our IMB house will open up.
