so after a long week holding down the fort being travel agents, the dogs promptly woke me up at 5:45 in the morning. walking 3 dogs that have a difference in weight of about 75 lbs (2 giant dogs, 1 tiny one) we needed to go to our local supro compro (herein referred to as the blue store--this is versus the other supro mercado referred to as the green store which is not quite as good) for a few

A minute-by-minute adventure in Costa Rican futbol. 7:34pm – I totally forgot that CONCACAF Champions League group bottom dwellers, recent U.S. Cup Champions, and MLS mid-table holders D.C. United were visiting beautiful Costa Rica to try to even the score against a virtually unknown and very resilient Deportivo Saprissa team. 8:05pm – A visit to espn.com tells me that D.C. United is up 1-0

the volcano did this weird mushroom cloud thing...apparently it built up pressure & blew out a new hole near the top (not too cool to me since i just read Pompeii, esp considering there was a small earthquake here about a month ago).anyway, we'll put a few more pics up of the volcano when we have a chance but the mushroom cloud one is the view from our desks-yes we look at a volcano all day :)

yep thats a tarantulathese caves are near our house, but because of poor road conditions (im being generous with that description) it takes about an hour to get there. we spent the day getting very familiar with our new neighbors (bats, tarantulas, etc...) dont be deceived by the way the photos turned out-- it was pitch black in there! we went through the caves, climbing, and at some points even
