We were pleasantly surprised with the hotel. It was built to look like an old colonial town and as you can see from the attached pictures they did a great job.

Costa Rica 2015
We flew into Costa Rica on Saturday morning and took the shuttle to Hotel Casa Conde. It is the first time we've stayed here. It's much closer to the church location and so it saves time and makes the transportation costs much more manageable.

Beautiful Day for a Campaign
After fighting the weather the last three nights, it was beautiful all day! The morning at the school was excellent--we visited 13 classrooms.
We were able to visit the neighborhood and lots of kids/adults showed up at the family festival. Lot's of decisions made the perfect end to a beautiful day.

Working around the rain
It is not the "norm" for us to be home in El Salvador during August. The past three years we have hurried back to the states after our last mission trip of the summer (first week of August) to visit family for 2-3 weeks before I started school. This year since I'm not teaching, we're going to visit the kids in California in the middle of September.
All of that to say we don't know whether the torrential rain we've been having the past 2-3 weeks is normal for August or not. It really seems more like our normal late September, early October rains. I have to go outside and cross my back yard to get to the washer and dryer. Except for towels, sheets and a few other things, most of our clothes line dry in the "normally" bright sun. This month, I'm having trouble getting laundry done and dry in between the rain storms! Can't tell you how many times we've had to run outside to get things off the line before they got soaked.
Jeff and Paula have a team coming in on Monday for a week so please pray that the rains don't impede us from our work. We will be going to schools in the morning and afternoon so the rain will not cause a big problem, but the late afternoon kid's clubs/family festivals could be impacted.

Took this picture from my dining room so you can see my little back yard. The arched door in the back wall leads to our washer and dryer. Both are outside, but under a roof.
