The Nothing Day

Today was one of those classic Costa Rica days that I love. We did practically nothing. Sure, we did the usual: showers, eating, going to bed. But in between…not much. Okay, here’s the major events of this day.

The maid was supposed to come around 10 am, so we needed to get out of the house so she could clean. We were going to take a taxi to San Jose so Cristina and Ramón could get the paperwork done for Alex and Isabella’s citizenship. We spent the morning/afternoon waiting for the maid, but she never showed up. So there’s about half the day gone.

While we waited, Ramón and I managed to get the laptop hooked up to his Internet service (his computer is painfully old and slow and crashy). It took us an hour or so of trying to configure it correctly, but we finally got it. So now I can update my blog, check my email, and upload photos much faster.

After checking my email, we saw an invitation from the Sheridans for Sofia to spend a few nights with them.

Maritza made arroz con pollo for dinner. I started reading The Da Vinci Code that we’d brought for Ramón (he had gotten 140 pages into it and wasn’t sure if he wanted to keep reading…too slow, he says). Sofia started feeling sick after dinner and threw up as the kids were going to bed. She felt better after that, and we all hoped her trip to the Sheridans would not be in jeopardy. We’d have to see how she felt in the morning.
