Unexpected Stuff

We were just about sure we had to go north, but Tammie from our convoy was determined to go to the beach to relax and recover. We had called the place here and we were told that they wouldn't be open, but she came anyway and was welcomed in (turns out that camping was still open).

Our happy result at the other border gave us the freedom and the band of covid 19 refugees reunited at this place.

Pam and I were thinking we would stay 2 nights, but now we have been here almost a week and we find ourselves engaged in some of the daily work that makes this place special. It seems that whatever we are willing to share or teach the kids is great with the people who run this place so cooking, ukulele, talking, swimming, playing games, bike maintenance and exercise routines have become daily activities for us.

Along the way we have reached out to friends and family for directions to look for ways to help some of the kids who have difficulty reading because of dyslexia and other teaching techniques.

What a journey we are on! We could never have known that we would be here now. The "plan" was to be in Costa Rica now exploring the Caribbean coast, but this is so much more than that. Anyone can go to the coast and explore but fewer can find a place where people give well beyond the safe area and give their all for kids who need it.



Know that we are happy and safe... And exactly where we should be for now. Find your own peace where you can. The planet is healing right now. Maybe we will come out of this as a better world.

Peace and love peeps. More soon.
