the beach with Cora


The first two weeks of December were all about finals for the high school. We decided to get one last trip in to the beach before the crazy studying began. Cora, Alexander's girlfriend came with us! It was so great. We jumped in the huge waves, played on the beach, Joe and I even went for a run on the beach, and Natasha and Cora and I rode horses. It was wonderful!

This is a pic of Alexander and Cora at breakfast, at the hotel that we love called Monterrey del Mar.




Two very happy and beautiful riders on the beach!














One huge mud fight!


We headed back to San Rafael de Heredia where we began two crazy studying weeks. During that time, our friend Kate came to visit. She is a terrific friend from the peace march and she stayed for 9 days. She and Joe went off to Arenal, which is another volcano with very cool hot springs and the beach. I know Kate has some amazing photos of that trip, I'll have to figure out how to get them from her to post. I helped Alexander cram as much info into his head. The school is quite demanding, and our kids are really learning how to study and how to learn. After finals, we packed up, and headed to Colorado for our 5 week summer ( winter ) break. Look for our very late holiday letter, coming your way soon. Thanks so much for reading! Come visit!!!!
