Where's the flag!

Hey y'all! Lindsay here from Vancouver Canada. While I was counting shade trees in todays farm, I was thinking about how we've all adjusted to our Costa Rican lifestyle now that we've been here a while. Some things are now second nature, like checking the bed for bugs before getting in, putting a raincoat on at 1:55 in preperation for the rain at 2:oo, and traveling on roads that are twisty, rocky, and so steep you're sure that any minute you're going to fall off the edge of the world. Some of us are even picking up some Spanish and trying our best to use it. I'm excited to embrace as much of the culture as I can, but there are some things that are not so easy to get use to. Eating french fries and hot dogs for breakfast, and not putting toilet paper in the toilet are a little more then a small cultural adjustment. Looking down and seeing giant grubs and cockroaches by my feet still makes me jump. Not so high on the enjoyable scale. On the other hand, every time I step out of the truck after another nausea inducing car ride and look at the days farm, I am amazed by where I am and what I'm doing, and the view takes my breath away.

Pura Vida!
