Kate's latest entry
La Fortuna, Costa Rica
Since Helen came to visit, we decided to have a few last adventures before we left Costa Rica. We showed her around town, took her downtown, to the market, and shopping. We also visited two different volcanoes!
The first volcano is called Arenal. It is the typical volcano you think of when you hear the word volcano. It is a perfect cone …

Love, Aunt Karen Congratulations to both of you. Best of luck in your new careers.

re: Learning Spanish!Kate yeah he is fine. We see an occasional beard. The men here are capable of growing them, it's just not their culture to grow beards.
re: Tico CultureHelen Kimmel What about beards? How does Patrick fit in with his beard? haha
