7:00 AM
The alarm went off, but I was already awake. I headed up to breakfast at 7:30 and had coffee, Post Honey Nut cereal (with almonds), fresh papaya, strawberries, and scrambled eggs with cheese..
8:00 AM
Steve Tanner and I went to work on forming up our “circular” concrete form for a branch of the driveway. We had left a section of wood soaking in water overnight to make it more pliable. We were able to bend it to the radius we desired and stake it down in place. That took most of an hour, then we spent time cleaning up around camp and the shop.
10:00 AM
We had pretty much finished up our work and cleanup. We went to our rooms and started packing for our trip to the beach. I spent some time looking at our scripture for the day, 1 Cor. 3:9, “For we are God’s fellow workers,” and made a sketch of my thoughts.
11:30 AM
Lunch was served at the main house (Casa Grande). It was good food from our cook all week, Marlin. At the end of the meal, Donald and Erika Solano presented each of us with a hand painted piece of wood… each unique with some natural element of Costa Rica. Mine was of a tree frog. Beautiful! They are such a beautiful Costa Rican couple.
12:30 PM
We all gathered at the main driveway and loaded our overnight bags into a Tousimo van. We took a group picture including Donald & Erika because we would not be seeing them again. Then we drove through Costa Rica to the west coast and checked into a nice hotel for some R & R around 2:30 PM. I am writing this at the moment from an outdoor cabana that has wireless connectivity. Amazing!
6:00 PM
We gather for dinner at the Fiesta Resort in Pantarenas, along the Pacific coast of Costa Rica. Great food! It’s like a cruise ship on land!
7:45 PM
We gathered in Bob’s room for our evening crew meeting to discuss our thoughts from the day based upon 1 Cor. 3: 5-19. It was a good time of sharing and thought provoking discussion.
