slow connection.......a family email i have just copied cause i am lazy

Hello from San Vito
The Fiesta has begun, and runs until the 2nd, so lucky for us, work has been suspended on the aquaduct. (Other projects have not been so lucky – But I will be working behind the bar, the local brew Imperial tastes pretty good).
The people in the town are very nice. The layout and feel is similar to Springfield in Northern Ireland. If you can´t find Bello Oriente on the map, its close to Agua Beuna, Copo Beuna, Campo Dos or Campo Tres (sic).
Very beautiful. Nice people. Wnet to a party last night for a young boy who finished primary school. Ate some excellent pork cooked over a wheel-rim BBQ.
It appears that in Costa Rica, it is normal to walk your farm animals, be they pig or cow, by a leash down the main street of town on the weekend. (Notably one of them was walked to the slaughter house… see above).
Will return to Australia with Diabeties. Costa Ricans really know how to make great desserts and ice creams. It doesn´t help that we live near a sugar cane farm.
Starting to think in spanglish.
Feliz Navidad
James
