Looks like we made it!

Hey folks!  We did indeed make it to Costa Rica, sorry, we haven't had internet access (but here at Hotel Amor de Mar there is free wifi, what what!). I'll start at the very begining, I've heard it's a very good place to start... But I am a little sleepy, so I'm going to break this in to a few posts, we're here for 5 days, so I'm sure we'll even get in pictures!  Anywho, we made it without incident to the airport, and to Miami, from there we got on our next plane which was an hour delayed (partially due to 'a need to shift cargo'?), we were a little concerned that Ricky would have trouble finding us and we knew he was coming from far away.  But after a short incident with the immigration lady who had no idea where Ricky's mountain get-away was and thought we made up a fake address, we made it outside where Ricky found us in about a minute (because he said Mike looks enough like Mort to spot anywhere :)  We got to go on some fun errands about town with Ricky (we picked up a pinata for their grandson's 10th birthday, as well as some livestock feed... more on that later), then we headed up to their amazing mountain retreat.  I'm sure they wouldn't call it that, but that's what it is. It's lovely, they grow a ton of their own food, they have tons of fruit trees (Mike tried a starfruit right off the tree! I have a picture!!), they raise turkeys and chickens, Flor makes all of her own fresh juices... it was awesome.  We were there for two days and they ruled.

Tomorrow... Costa Rican buses, Manuel Antonio and Monkeys!
