Sunday:
Spanish Level: I feel pretty good about being able to communicate in Spanish. While I was at lunch today I talked to the bar tender for a while and he could understand me pretty well. (I could understand him pretty well too). Maybe it was the beer?
I went to the pool because it was hot and there wasn’t much else to do. When I got there, two tico families were there swimming too. It was a nice day at the pool. I left about 3 because it was going to start raining. After the pool I went to a restaurant, Gran Escape, for a late lunch. It is owned by two American ladies, one of them is named Crystal. They have a lot of dogs and one of them is sort of a mascot for the restaurant, a big white lab named Cookie who is pretty old. The restaurant has been closed the last month for a few renovations. A lot of things in town have been closed, the hotel casino, a few other restaurants, some of the hotel pools, some smaller stores and tour places.
When I got home everyone was getting ready for church, so I did too and I took my little paper this time. I did understand a lot more words but still can’t tell what the lectures or the priest are saying. At least now I recognize some of the songs and words like, El Senor, Cristo, Amen and Hallelujah, and I don’t mess up the peace be with you part.

It is refreshing for your folks to see you attending church regularly.
Even if it is only to learn the language.
I said it before and I'll say it again, "That place is haviing a good effect on you!"
a prayer is a prayer in any language...
Glad to hear that you can communicate in Spanish with the bartender after enough beer... must run in the family. I also speak some foreign languages after enough beer.
Weather cooled off here some in past few days. Still hot near the equator?
Pronto casa
