The Olsons with Ronald
Last week we hosted 2 families who were here for a work team project down at the coast. They spent 4 days helping Edwin and his mother, Rina, down at the coastal town of Puerto San José by pouring a cement floor to replace their previously "dirt" or rather, "sand", floor in their small shack. They also helped trying to stabilize a leaning wall. After the 4 days working in the hot scorching sun under tin roofs, the team members were glad to get back to higher elevation and cooler temperatures. Since the Conner home could not house all 13+ family members, we offered to help by hosting 2 couples.
The next day we took an Olson couple up to Antigua as they wanted to spend a few extra days in this quaint historic town. We gave them maps, gave them highlights on where to go and what to eat. We stopped at our favorite restaurant, Las Palmas, {check out their website} and also introduced them to our good friends, the Kendalls. {check out their website too}.
They did stay in a nice bed and breakfast place called Hotel Catedral, just off the main plaza. Check out their web site. We took them to a coffee plantation, signed them up for a massage (especially needed after the construction project they had been working on ) and showed them some key areas of town. They enjoyed Luna de Miel Café and went back to Las Palmas a second time.
All in a day's work! We thoroughly enjoyed being instruments of encouragement to this fine couple.
PS We ended up keeping the Olsons two more nights on their return trip back to the USA.
