Hasta la Vista to Pura Vida

It’s time to head home. Some parting shots:

The ultimate in organic fertilizer—the orange blossoms on those trees produce nitrogen—as seen from the road from Grano de Oro to Turrialba, where Felix and I took a bus to San José.

I’ve never seen a computer store with indoor parking before. There’s no on-street parking.

I've also never seen a car where the driver can watch TV while driving. But with San José traffic usually at a standstill, you might as well.

Felix (left) was my escort from Turrialba to San José, where Alan hosted us for the night.

It has been an incredible privilege to be here. While I didn’t get the chance to do as much linguistics with Ruth as I had hoped—the scripting took longer than I ever expected (as it always does, I needed to remember)—I think I saved the Cabécar and Ngöbe teams a lot of time and hassle. Ruth and I will be meeting online for an hour a week to talk linguistics, and David knows whom to call when things go wonky in the software department, so I consider it a trip well worthwhile.

May God be pleased to use this time and work for his eternal glory!
