Well, it is almost over !!

We had our interview today at the San Jose Costa Rica embassy, and other than taking quite a bit longer than we thought, it went without a hitch and Emma Rosa can pick up her passport with her visa Monday afternoon. We'll post all the details at the Costa Rica embassy portal.

She won't be coming to the US until late October or November since she has some business to wrap up here in CR first, and I'm headed back to NJ Sunday--9/11--and I expect lots of extra scrutiny at the airports since it is the tenth anniversary. I don't know about you, but I will certainly pause a bit in my travels and be thankful that we live in the US and that we are all trying to bring our loved ones home to build a good life. Immigrants are the backbone of our country--documented or undocumented--so let's all do our part to make it a better place each and every day.

I want to wish everyone here the very best wishes, and no, you can't get rid of me that easy just because we are done for awhile. This is like a huge extended family to me and I will stick around until I don't feel helpful--I hope that means forever.

bravo!

I have to admit after working as a biologist in Costa Rica for a few months, I was smitten with CR. Then I discovered Colombia and worked and traveled throughout that beautiful country. I have to admit CR and CO are two spectacular places. Although, all countries have issues and dangers, I agree completely and I do appreciate living here and treasures like our National Parks make me appreciate what we have.

But eating good food in CO and CR, and exploring their jungles, swimming in warm seas, jubilant salsa music and dancing, make me scratch my head when I think of some of our terrible food here and coldness we have towards one another. People don't really dance in the US. We like our space here, and places like Italy, Mexico, CR and CO people are so use to living close to one another and living passionately.

so many places to see..at the risk of sounding like an idealist, I just wish we could all get along.
