Coquita still thinks

That she is still 5 pounds and a lapdog, as evidenced by her behavior with the art department.

Water games

Coquita is getting bigger (now 9 months and close to 50 pounds) though she is still very much a water dog. She loves to hike down to the river or waterfall and go swimming with the guests.

More great pictures. . .

Of the Red-Eyed Tree Frog.

It is a critter that we are lucky to see most nights of the week.

OK, so this is what Pa Eidson was doing more of during the making of the tortillas. However, it was about 90F with humidity around 95 percent.

When you can find a place to relax in the jungle, you go for it!

Still working on the tortillas. . .

By Ma and Pa Eidson (dad Eidson is just to the left of the picture). The tortillas are made and then cooked atop a wood stove. They are really, really good.

The Eidson clan

In Costa Rica! Here is Pat (mom) at our friend's house, cooking away for dinner with them.

Ma Eidson is a whiz in the kitchen, though this may have been the first time for her making corn tortillas from scratch (and they were great).

Long, long time. . .

And without a doubt, the editorial department has been incredibly lazy. There was a trip up north for the holidays (and some time stranded at O'Hare) though now we are back. This is a great photo of the Red-Eyed Tree Frog (non-venomous) that we are lucky enough to see regularly.
