Leaving Cahuita and on to San Jose






SAN JOSE

We went to the meeting in Cahuita which turned out to be a milestone for the people there. The very first congregation in Costa Rica was in the english and it was in Cahuita but in the mid 80´s it was disbanded. We attended the very first meeting in english in Cahuita since that time. There were 29 in attendance including the one of the first brothers to learn the truth in all of Costa Rica. We were taken out for dinner by a very sweet family from Georgia. The next day we headed to San Jose. I don´t know how to explain San Jose it is is just ... a city. There isn´t a lot of charm or anything it is just there. We were able to go to Bethel there which was very beautiful. We also got a tour of the assembly hall. San Jose is very expensive ( well most of costa rica is expensive) and I definately got into quite the tiff with a taxi driver who charged me 60 dollars for a 10 block cab ride to the bus station. In the end though San Jose was not as bad as i had been told it was. We did manage to find some little coffee shops downtown and to figure out .. well more like experiment on the bus system there.
We definately got lost but we got to see a lot of the city and we made it home eventually. We are now in the town of La Fortuna for a little bit of an adventure on the volcano .. I am REALLY EXCITED FOR TODAY!!!
