Dessert a lo Tico

Well, here it is. Step1 (man I love lists):Put on your boots, gloves and coat, get a bowl and a flashlight if it is dark out, find yourself the cleanest batch of snow and fill your bowl with it (watch out for the yellow patches those are definitely not considered clean). Take off your coat, boots and gloves, put them away neatly, return the flashlight if borrowed and mosey on into the kitchen. Step2 (did I say how much I love lists?): Open up the bottle recently bestowed upon you as a birthday gift by dearly loved relatives (thanks Mom and Jere) of... Sirope de Kola made by Cruz Blanca of course (with vitamin C). Step3: (Ah glorious step 3!! It looks so good!!!) Smother your snow/ice stuff with this delicious concoction. Step4: A generous helping of Pinito on top (another birthday gift). Step5: Find a spoon and an out-of-the-way place to eat it so no one can break your concentration.... ummmmm! but don't eat too fast for a serious brain freeze awaits you... Wow, can you tell I am fasting??? Enough silliness. Let's see what is going on... I submitted a little article fasting to the UPI's Religion and Spirituality website and they published it. It is still there today but might not be for long so if you wanna check it out here is the link (http://www.religionandspirituality.com/). I was searching a few months ago for sites that would let me know what is latest religious news out there. What religious issues are news worthy and what is the rest of the world saying. I get a little of that at this site but more important are these small articles written by various people around the globe. Some are silly but there is alot of wonderful sparks out there. People really are talking about more than just the weather and thinking about how we can change the craziness around/in us.
I took friday off and pulled the boys out of school to go to the museum of science in Boston. What an amazing place! So much to do, see and learn. There was once exhibit that was a huge bank of tv screens and some terminals in front of it. On some you could design your own fish based on your eating habits, depth at which you lived, level of fear and others and you send him into the virtual world where he would interact with the rest of the fish on the all the screens (like looking into a huge fish tank). On others you controlled predators and their patterns etc. Alot of fun.
Anna joined us for a bit and we all saw a 3D movie on bugs (Britt and I swore they filmed it in the little river behind our house in Costa Rica). We then met Anna's house mate Katrinka for fast breaking at a diner near their house and had a quick tour of Anna's fabulous apartment. On sunday after Baha'i school the boys and hiked to the top of skinner mt, had a picnic and sledded down the whole thing. Anyway, I have written too much. Enjoy the pics. I would like to include here a huge thanks to Zia for updating his blog with the great pics of Dubai (see the Saunders link on this page). Keep'm coming especially of that awesome family of yours!! We miss you.
