Thursday

 I understand that Atlanta has been iced over.  Layne thought it would be fun to post a pic on his facebook (which he logs in to only about once every 6 months) of him here in Costa Rica since it's so warm.  This is the pic he posted....

His post said, "To all of my friends in Georgia and Mississippi, I can relate to you. I think it dropped below 80 today. Its freezing! Seriously though stay safe everyone."...That crazy kid.


An update on the earthquake:  The newspaper said this, "A magnitude-4.5 earthquake rocked Costa Rica around 7:40 p.m. Wednesday, according to the University of Costa Rica’s National Seismological Network. UPDATE: The seismological network recorded a magnitude-4.2 aftershock at 9:20 p.m........ Reports showed it was felt throughout the entire country, with the strongest tremors hitting San José and the Central Valley. In San José, it seemed to last at least 10 seconds. No significant damage or any injuries have been reported."

And here's a map of where it was (just so you know, we're in the green area)....

Tomorrow Layne and I are leaving after school to go to Uvita, Costa Rica to visit some friends who have some sort of mission down there.  We brought some things they needed from the U.S. and we're going to help them clean or cut grass or do anything else they need.  I'm nervous about us making it to the bus station and actually getting on the correct bus so say a little prayer for us. We'll keep you posted!
