Mud Slides
We can now add mud slides to the list of natural disasters that we have experienced in the various cities we have lived in. It has been a tragic day in San Jose as 30 homes have been buried in mud slides due to incredibly heavy rain. Sadly, more than 30 Costa Ricans lost their lives and more are still missing. One of the mud slides was only 4 miles from our home. The entire city of San Jose was without water because the mud slides broke some of the water mains. And our house was without power for 3 days. It changes life a lot when you don't have a few of the basics of life. But we were very impressed with the organization in San Jose as workers and rescue personnel restored power and water supply with great efficiency.

Hi Monica
I don't know if you remember me or not, but I knew you from EVBC Tempe. It was before I was married so at the time my maiden name was Kruge. I just found out that you and your husband moved to Costa Rica and are going to the language school there. Well, I think that you might be going to the same school that my brother and sister-in-law are going to as well. They moved to Costa Rica in June last year. They are back in the states for Christmas, but will be leaving Jan. 2nd to go back home. They actually used to go to EVBC Tempe too. My sister-in-law and I were talking about it tonight and she was hoping that maybe you guys could meet when they get back home. If you would be interested, you can email me and I will send you some details on where they live. My email is jenn@mellentine.com.
Hope to talk to you soon
Jennifer Mellentine
