The move to the city

Yes, it's been awhile... In the interim we packed our bags and moved from Monteverde to San Antonio de Escazu, a suburb of San Jose. It's great to be in civilization again! We got here Saturday of last week, so the 16th, and have since had lots of visitors, so haven't really been here much or spent much time on the computer while I've been here. But we have "real" internet now so should be online more often, especially after we upgrade our DSL which is a work in progress. Everything is a work in progress here, I've realized. Such as the PO box which I went to get this morning. They're full so we'll have to wait until March. In the interim you can use our home address for all the letters and postcards you've been dying to send! Address, along with new phone number, at the bottom.



The house is a lovely, colorful Tico style house in San Antonio de Escazu. Escazu is a suburb of San Jose and set on a hillside. It consists of three parts, of which San Antonio is the topmost. Makes for good exercise when you're not taking the bus! It's a two bedroom with a kitchen, living room and a great garden which we'll try and make even greater in the coming weeks and months. So far it's a bit sparsely furnished, but we aim to make it more cozy in the near future.

Det var ju en smidig adress! Man kanske får plats med ett "hej" också om man skickar vykort. Blev det långtråkigt i bergen eller?

I know, right? This might work too:

But it's so far untested.

Yea Monteverde was great but only for the short term. This is a more sustainable living situation so to speak.
