It has been a while since I have updated here…. Sorry as the time as we know it just keeps flying by… The last time I wrote it was about my big birthday party and about my new corset that is to help my scoliosis. So far so good on my corset. Sometimes Cinthya will put it on me when I am working out with her in the afternoons. The majority of the time I wear it at night and am able to wear it for six hours at a time. It really does not bother me, and I sleep very well in it.

We went to San Jose to get my official Costa Rica ID card and to renew my passport. That was a bit of a whirlwind. We got up early that morning and took the 9 am ferry across to Puntarenas that is where I was to get my ID. First place we went to they told us they had moved, then second place we went to they said was the wrong place, Waze sent un on a wild goose chase, 4th stop was the police station and they pointed us in the right direction and we finally found the place. Once we got there thankfully they allowed me to pass through the line and get started on id. After that we then had to go to the bank to get a stamp to make my birth certificate official it was a bit silly…. It was so hot that day, there was no parking, no handicap access. My mom went into the bank and it was packed with people! She asked to go to the handicap line as this was a transacation for me and the lady did not want to let her.. After mom took a picture of the van’s handicap picture, a pic of me in the car sleeping, and that we were out on the street waiting she finally let my mom go in the fast lane. Once she got up there paid less than a penny for the stamp, and was good to go! Seemed LOCO to go through all that for a silly stamp! Anyway we were off like a band of turtles and headed onto San Jose.
