Getting Ready to Go Home

Hello Everyone

Today has been a nice lazy day. We are packing a little and getting ready for our LONG trip home. We went out to the store today to buy some candies for the kids and lots of Chocolate for Betty.

We ate at a Chinese restuarant today. Star couldn't eat much she is still having stomach pains, Toby had a little left over and we boxed it up and gave it to a old lady on the street who was begging for food. It brought tears to our eyes when she hugged us both and was so very thankful for our leftovers. She keep telling us Thank you thank you my angels. It just reminds us to be thankful for what we have and to be giving to those how need.

Otherwise, Toby is playing with the kitten and Star is packing and playing the guitar.

Tomorow we will visit the school again. Last time we went we forgot the camera.

God Bless Everyone!

La Playa Estrella (The Star Beach)

Today we took a taxi down to the district of Mira Flores. We arived at Largo Mar which is a park and shopping center on top of a cliff overlooking the ocean. There was a nice cool breeze blowing in off the ocean (how refreshing on a hot humid day.) We walked around the shops and enjoyed the views. We sat down a nice resturant and had lunch before going down to the beach. We had to walk about a mile and then down a huge flight of stairs to get down below the cliffs to the beach. We spent all day walking up and down the beach collecting rocks and watching hundreds of people surfing in the ocean. We sat and relaxed in the shade for a few hours and enjoyed the sound of the crashing waves. We tried to get a taxi home, but everyone that stoped want to charge us 3 times too much, so we finnaly called eduardo, and he came and picked us up after work. While waiting for eduardo star got sick out of the blue (not sure what happened but it happened quick). After a few hours she started felling a little better, but is still a little under the weather. But dont worry Toby is taking good care of her and make sure she is safe and well.
