Oct 18 Minor update

Dear friends, we are on our way back down to Costa Rica. These are some photos from last week, showing progress installing teak. In this first photo, that is teak above the upper veranda. There is a LOT of this stuff to be installed, this just scratches the surface! But it is great to see it go in, since this is finish work.

If you take time to go to www.ticotimes.net you can read articles today about the rains this week, and resulting floods in Parrita. That poor little town is getting hammered once again. Fortunately, rains and flooding are nothing new. Tico's have a resiliant way of handling this, ensuring expensive electronic items are high up.

So, we are NOT at all sure just what we're getting into this trip. New adventures this time, coastal flooding, driving ourselves from Central Valley (San Jose) to the coast. One nightmare had us in the midst of mudslides! Seriously though, we're not too worried. Just an opportunity to be observant - something any old motorcyclist has made a habit of doing.


We'll be taking many, many photos this time, so at the end of the week, I expect to be making a few updates. Meanwhile, we wish you well as Fall settles over the midwest of USA. We absolutely will not miss the political ads!

All for now!
