Visitors From Afar

We got an email Sunday from Gail's cousin, Kathy, who lives in Germany telling us that her son, Kevin, and his girlfriend, Anna, would like to come for a visit on Monday.  They needed a place to spend the night and get a meal or two.  They are from Germany and had been traveling around Costa Rica for 3.5 weeks.  We knew they were coming to Costa Rica but didn't know if they would be in Tamarindo till Sunday! 

They walked from Playa Grande (3-4 miles), got here at noon.

 

They could only stay one day and would be leaving to catch a 6:00 bus in the morning.  It was so great they showed up when they did.  We were leaving to come home in a couple days and were not sure how we were going to eat all of the food we had in the refrigerator.  They helped us clean up many leftovers. I think we fed them well and now our cupboards are almost bare...yay!

 

 

We spent the afternoon around the pool.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That evening we went to see the fire dance.

 

 

Small world...thank goodness for the internet or we would never gotten in touch! We had a wonderful visit with Kevin and Anna...very nice couple!

 

Wish they had been able to stay longer, but we got a lot of ground covered in the short time they were here. What a blessing it was that we were still here and that our paths could cross.  Thank goodness for the internet to be able to make the connection.

They left a few minutes ago to go catch the bus.

 

Maybe some day we can visit them in Germany--who knows!
