Thursday, November 24 - Part 1

Small town we went through on the way to San Jose.  I just love these colors - they can be nicely incorporated into a future quilt.  With little houses in each square - oh I can't wait to get started!! 

I have to finish my WIPs (Works in Progress) first before I will allow myself to start ANYTHING new. 

That's one of my goals for the new year.  Work on the WIPs. 

This is a nature reserve we stopped at for a break.  At first we thought this was a sloth but it turned out to be a termite nest. 

This is about as close to rainforest as we got.

The road going through the reserve was cobble stone. 

This is the church in San Jose where the first Rev. V. preached.

Hibiscus were growing everywhere.  Turtles love to eat them. 

That's it!!   A quilt with turtles and hibiscus in the background - now that would be beautiful!!!

This was the first church we saw with pews.

With the holes in the walls - bats love to come in and out.  Talk about bats in the belfry!!

Can you see the bat??

Sunday school room. I loved seeing verses in Portuguese!!

We remember seeing this same tree in the Honolulu zoo on our honeymoon in 1997.

This is at Calamares in San Jose - we went there for lunch.

I think I'm going to frame this one.

A man swimming in the surf at lunch time - imagine!!  

 

As yoy may recall from the first Rev. V - there is alot of fishing in San Jose - not as much as 40 years ago but we saw evidence of it's survival like in this scene.

Another framable shot.

Some ideas of how they decorate at a beachside restarant.  Surprisingly, the bathrooms had no AC so you never spent alot of time in there or you would melt.  That reminds me of my "Ahhh I'm stuck in this hot, steamy bathroom!" story which I will get to for the last day of our stay.  Funny things happen to me.
