In September of 2000, I traveled to the wonderful country of
Costa Rica. On these pages I will share a few of the highlights
of my trip.
My traveling companions were my sister,
Diane, and my daughter, Laura.
Laura was coming to Costa Rica as a volunteer English teacher
in a small, isolated village in the central plateau area. Diane
and I used Laura's trip as our excuse to visit this beautiful
country. After she began her training, we visited the
capital city, San Jose, and the rain forest and then flew to
Playa Hermosa on the Pacific coast, where we enjoyed a different
world of beaches and scuba diving.
Laura went on to discover a town and especially a family of warm
loving "Ticos" who welcomed her into their hearts and their lives.
This picture shows her with all the children in the school holding
the new books she was able to give to them with the help of family
and friends. She had many wonderful experiences and adventures, but
that's another story for another web page. The story of our trip
continues on the following pages.
