So OK, nothing really interesting has happened yet, but I'm gonna write anyway.
We arrived with no real issues, so those of you who had me crashing and burning even before we got here, nyah, nyah!
It's been a busy week... I haven't had a chance to have a single siesta yet... That better change!
Anyway, we got a car and successfully negotiated the legal system to have it transfered into our name. Plus, we got the kids enrolled into the school they wanted to get into, (they have already made some friends), and they start school on Monday, the 31st. We bought them their school uniforms - 6 tops and 2 skirts cost us just under $60 Canadian. I still say all schools should have them.
The application form was in Spanish, and I tried to answer in my questionable Spanish, so I expect some the answers will have them laughing in the back office for a bit. For example, one of the questions about the kids was translated to us as "How was the birth?". I don't know how to answer that one in English!
The answer to the question "What is your address?" was also somewhat embarassing, in that the answer was "Well, we don't have one yet!". Still, nobody even raised an eyebrow. In Canada, I'm sure they would have reported us to social services as poor homeless people. Gotta love laid back Costa Rica.
