We survived the karaoke party with our boss....not only survived but actually had a great time and met some fantastic people. They all work at the resort close to where we work and most of them live where our office is. Miah had his first karaoke experience, a strong showing of "No Rain". We also tried to learn to dance, although our hips have no chance of keeping up with everyone else. There was one couple there who was American as well so we spent Sunday at their apartment watching football. We're not sure which was best 1) real football, 2) TV, or 3) AC, but minus the Chargers losing, it was a stupendous afternoon.
As far as our job goes, it looks like we will waiting for awhile. It is one of those "hurry up and wait" situations trying to get the necessary permits. Apparently knowing people in each of the offices is the way to get things done, but we're going to have to figure out a new way for now. We don't get much of an inkling that our Spanish is getting better (we still don't understand too much more than the grocery store conversation), but our English is definitely declining, so we're going to take that as a positive sign. Maybe we'll forget enough English that we're forced to talk in Spanish...
We did our best yesterday to start meeting the folks in our town. We played frisbee in the soccer field in the center of town and were a spectacle to say the least.
Lasssstly, we finally got a mailing address. It's to our office, but it's probably the most reliable address that we can give:
Hacienda Pinilla
Villas San Francisco
Casa 16
Santa Cruz, Guanacaste, Costa Rica
We would give you the other address, but we can't really remember it all, it had something to do with 200 meters on the road toward Paso Hondo from the main soccer field in the middle of Ventesiete de Abril. Good luck with that.
Love you guys!

Enjoy the sunshine! We just got 4 inches of snow that paralyzed the Triangle. Mike was so thrilled he couldn't sleep. :) He said it was better than Christmas, but I don't necessarily agree.
I hope that next time you do karaoke you have a video clip to post on youtube! I'm sorry, Miah, but I just don't think you can compete with Leslie's backup singers the last time she did karaoke. ;)
Oohhh... B-b-b-Benny and Jets!
