We had a nice, relaxing Semana Santa (Holy Week) here in Costa Rica. We did have to suffer through that terrible NCAA Tournament National Championship Game, but otherwise we had a few days to spend time with friends and get hooked on a new hobby....golf. Yes, you may laugh (we are hilarious to watch at this point), but it is a blast.
Back at work we met with a new engineer who is now going to be in charge of our first project. He seemed great and is able to get all the approvals we need in the next two weeks. If all goes as planned we may get to begin building in early June. Just in the nick of time too, because the president of Costa Rica will be here in the middle of June to see the progress of the project. We´ve learned a ton over the past few months though, and we should be able to acquire the next set of permits quicker, although we will always have to battle the pura vida mindset.
Over the weekend we went back to try golf some more, but halfway through playing we got a message that we needed to go on a horseback ride with our boss (meetings are a little different around here!). Sounds like a great idea if you´re prepared, unfortunately we were not, and riding in a skirt is not recommended. We were able to get to the top of the mountain just before sunset though and caught a beautiful view before trying to ride back in the dark.
Sorry this post is late being published, but next update we´ll catch you up on our adventures with our first guests here in Costa Rica.
Love to all,
Team Wander
