What happened to February?


Hmmm, it appears that I missed the entire month of February. Oh well, I have good reasons for doing so.

COSTA RICA!!!

Yup, for almost 2 weeks in February Charity and I got to spend time with her family since they had rented a house in a beach town called Jaco for the entire month! It was certainly the most relaxing vacation we have ever taken.

We got to do some really fun activities while we were down there. We all went on a crocodile boat tour, where we saw huge crocodiles...and our boat driver got out twice onto the river shore to feed the crocodiles! Yup....with raw chicken in hand...he enticed the croc to come our of the water and eat the meat! Freaking Awesome!

We also got to do a jungle zipline trek. 13 ziplines through the Costa Rican jungle. It had some of the most amazing views of the pacific coast while flying through the trees.

We were able to go to church on the two Sunday's that we were there. It was an english speaking church called Calvary Christian Fellowship: Jaco . Charity's sister and her husband (my brother-in-law) who came down on vacation for the 2nd Sunday...he and I got to lead worship! It was so great to bless their church, and serve them in this way. Their pastor is great and we enojyed chatting for a few hours on Saturday as we prepared for the service.

The rest of the time was simply spent laying by the pool trying to tan my pasty-white body. It worked! Tan lines are pretty much a guarentee when it's 40 celcius at 7am and stays hot and sunny all day! Having the pool in our house was awesome to simply jump in to cool off when it got too warm.

I loaded up on many quality exports from Costa Rica to take home...but wish I had more suitcase space that's for sure. It's a country that I would realy love to go back to.

So that's a re-cap of my vacation.
