Home again, again

I have returned from my travels to Costa Rica. Thus ends the traveling phase in my life for a while, I would imagine. Unless of course someone decides to donate large amounts of money to me!
Costa Rica was fabulous. I think that I enjoyed Turkey more, but it is a wonderful place. The weather was unbeatable. I love seasons, but I could seriously get used to Costa Rican weather year round. The wedding was nice, Ken is now officially married, twice. The food was great. And the views were incredible. The only qualm I have about the trip is that I felt like a major tourist the whole time. First of all we stayed in what I like to call the Rich White Person Compound. Second of all we did a tour. In general I try to avoid tours when I travel, but I must admit that this one was quite nice and we saw a lot of good things for the price that was paid. In general it was hard to blend in when walking around downtown San Jose with a group of about 16 gringos. I did rather enjoy practicing my Spanish, and I look forward to many more trips in the future...maybe even one in a year with the staff...but I guess I'll see what happens.

Hmmm, that last paragraph seems awfully disjointed....but what can you do, sometimes?
