Panama Update #140
Sunday, March 1, 2009
Today I went to the only Indian store in town, that we know of, and bought some Mango Pickle and Besan Flour to bring to the person we are staying with in Costa Rica. Apparently she can't find those things there so she asked us to bring them. We leave Thursday night and return on Sunday. One of the days there we plan to tour the city of San Jose and the other day we have signed up for an all day group tour to the Arenal Volcano. We plan to bring the camera so should have some pictures to post when we get back.
We didn't get to see Slumdog yesterday. When we went to the theatre they informed us that the show wouldn't actually be playing until Sunday, even though it was advertisd as starting Saturday. We stayed at the mall and got some shopping done anyway, so it wasn't a wasted trip.
Since we are scheduled to leave on June 2, we are starting to think more about what we want to move back to the US, what we will sell, and what we will give away. When we came last June I shipped about a dozen boxes down here, but it will be more complicated to ship it back from here. We may only ship a couple of boxes of books and we had another idea on how to send the rest of the things. A couple of our visitors have offered to carry some of our stuff back with them since they can check up to two bags each and have extra space.
