Lest you think we're whining. . .

We really aren't. This is a great place to live and we really do love it. There is just always something going on.

For example, the other day, the art department needed to drive up to Ciudad Quesada to go to the bank, get the medical forms for the folks that work here, go to the open farmer's market for the fresh produce for upcoming breakfasts and as a bonus, a part for the chainsaw was finally ready.

During that time, the editorial department was hanging loose at the hotel. Of course, that meant that the tour company that was supposed to pick up guests at 7:30 a.m. called at 7:15 and said the van was broken down and they were delayed by 2 hours.

Then, some guests that had come in on a red-eye showed up at 10 a.m., (the same time as the late tour) while the current guests in their tree house were still in there (check out is at 11 a.m.). While the new folks were being checked in by the editorial department, another tour company came to pick up the aforementioned guests as did the drink company that brings us our soft drinks every two weeks. Then two tree houses came down to ask directions for other locations at the same time, and that meant eight folks hanging around, while the editorial department flailed valiantly to take care of everything.

Oh yeah, there was a stopped drain and leaky faucet that came to light at the same time in two different tree houses.

Still, it is a great place to be.
