A Quick Update from Stateside

Hi all,
Just talked to friends in Costa Rica, and here's the latest:

The Isidro Nunez Bridge is almost finished.

The Municipality has finally started building the bridge for the main road passage over the Morete (I really started to think it would never happen!), and in so doing has provided work for at least one San Josecito neighbor, Ademar (or Enrique) Nunez.

Pamela is still hospitalized, but is making good progress. She had the operation to re-unite her intestine last week and did just fine, continues to improve.

Last, but not least, my friend Hector asked me to tell everyone about the property that his family has decided to put on the market. This is 3 hectares (about 7.5 acres) 1 hour south of San Jose. It is a cooler climate than our steamy San Josecito, with mountain views, a river running on one border, lots of fruit trees and coffee plants, two springs, three natural pools, a main house and a cabin/restaurant, and a lake with tilapia. I've been to the area and it's lovely! If I weren't so darned land poor right now I'd buy it myself! They're asking $170,000.

Also worth mentioning, Isidro Nunez needs to sell a lot or a small "farm" area in San Josecito to pay off the bridge loan.

Please contact me if either possibility interests you!

I'm going back to CR in August and will get some pictures of the land to post.
Till then, happy summer,
Elizabeth
