This pic is a fraud -- was taken in San Diego, but the bird on my arm is representative of the many beautiful birds here. And their songs are amazing. One bird sound like a car when it´s being locked electronically.

Chasing the Dream

It has always been my dream to become fluent in Spanish. Since I've been gainfully unemployed since December it occurred to me that now is the time and Costa Rica is the place. I fly out of Denver on American Airlines Saturday, June 29th at 8 a.m., and after a 4 hour layover in Miami, will arrive that evening in San Jose, Costa Rica at 7 p.m. Someone will meet me there and take me to my host family in San Joaquin de Flores where I will stay for my 4 week school at the Don Quiote Institute. Meanwhile, it's make a list and checking it ten times to make sure I don't forget anything, but Harold is confident that I will -- forget something! I'll post again in a few days. Adios, Mimi
