Soup kitchen & Bible study

This past Saturday I had the opportunity to go help and observe a neat ministry. It's in one of the poor areas outside of the city. It was started by a lady who runs a store. Each day she would have kids come in and ask for food and they would say put it on my parent's tab-bill. Well she would do this but she would she would never get paid for the food because the families didn't have the money. So she started a program where she would feed the kids lunch. That turned into feeding the kids everyday for lunch. Then on Saturday morning she has a Bible study for the kids before feeding them lunch. It was a really interesting program to see, I hope to be able to go again. For the meal she had rice, beans and pasta.

Please feed me...

One night at the hotel I was just patiently waiting for my food.

Hanging Bridges

A neat tour Kim and I went on was a Hanging Bridges tour. It was a 2 mile hike in the woods and we saw 15 hanging bridges, all of various heights and lengths. It was really neat to see. However it wasn't too much fun when we were standing in one place and the fire ants decided that they liked our shoes and wanted to go with us. We were able to get them off by stomping and jumping.

A pet lizard

This is the best way to have a pet lizard...

Chocolate body wrap

Yep you read it right...I had a chocolate body wrap at a spa the other day. It was a very nice and enjoyable treat. First the spa person puts a chocolate mixture on me, it smelt like chocolate but I didn't try it. Then I was wrapped up in plastic wrap and they put warm towels over the wrap. It was a relaxing hour. There was a 4 year old girl who asked me about it, she was so intrigued. I just hope she doesn't get the Hersheys syrup out of the refrigerator at her house and tries it herself...

Kim and my Tica mom

My Tica mom blessed Kim with a painting which she had painted. She gave Kim a few to choose from. Kim was very excited to be able to choose one.

Another cute dog

My Tica friend, Dora, has a cute dog who I like to help spoil. By the way Tica is the name that the Costa Rican people call themselves. So when I say Tica or Tico it refers to the Costa Rican people.
