Costa Rica Expat Family : Day 10 - Bread, Ray Bans and Sunset

Day 10
2-12-14

I woke to the smell of bread at 5:00 a.m. The gentleman that we get our bread from lives about two blocks away, but the aroma wafted all the way to our house and in our bedroom window. What a way to wake up!

Instead of running I took the bike out for a ride and of course Elly came too. It was an easy ride on the dirt road, but we came back on the beach - much harder. It was definitely a good workout pedaling on the sand! Came home and went for a swim with Ryan. It was nice to have time with just her. She is homesick for her friends, so trying to help her keep a positive attitude. She has a babysitting job Friday night - she will watch two kids at our house.

I found a pair of Ray Ban sunglasses alongside the road when I was running one day. I gave them to Ryan and today she painted them with acrylics - so now they are Ryan's. She also started a water color painting, so these are good signs :-)

The kids did lots of school work and I spent time wrapping up some more loose ends from the states. Went into Tamarindo to pick up a few things and saw a big lizard on the way.

The breadman came and delivered a warm baguette and two warm apple strudles - OMG. The strudle was gone in 10 minutes and the baguette was gone by lunch time. We ordered two loaves of whole grain bread for Friday delivery. For Saturday, 4 pretzels. Mouth is watering.

Our family time at the beach tonight was very special!
