I have been so blessed to have so many friends come and visit me. Yesterday our dear friend Suzanne, Wil, Raquel, Julian, Vivian and Cooper just left back to Texas. There visit was a quick one only five days but it was much fun hanging out with them. We went to Kalapiti’s a couple of times for dinner and hung out around the pool. Thanks for coming to see me and for always supporting me at my benefit each year.
I was supposed to leave for San Jose yesterday. Me,mom and Natalia had a girl’s trip planned full of doctor’s appointments but Monday morning when I woke up it was pouring rain. We received over 5 inches in a matter of hours. The next thing you know we were getting phone calls that the temporary bridge the municipality had put up was covered now by the raging river. It wasn’t the best time of the year to fix the main bridge since we are in the rainy season now! We decided to cancel our trip for my doctor’s appointments for another two weeks. We were a bit disappointed but better to be safe than sorry as we weren’t sure what the weather would be doing the following day and if the river would have gone down! So in two weeks we shall try again!
Today my dad and I practiced training for my big race next week. Cobano is hosting the regional special olympics of Costa Rica. We are very excited to be invited and to be able to participate in the 25meter race! A week from today we will be competing! We are all looking forward to it.
