High Life in Costa Rica

One of the tremendous experiences of living in another culture is to be able to establish meaningful relationships and have real friends. Our wonderful friends the Abdallahs invited us to share in their little girl's 4th birthday. We spent a fabulous day at the Parque de Diversiones, and then shared cake and coffee at their house. Our kids really enjoy being together, as you can see from this picture of Wyatt and Chloe with Beatriz. Sure, we make every effort to adapt ourselves to the local culture. And we try to always be students of others as we serve as teachers and culture agents. But it looks like Wyatt may have had a little too much fermented banana juice, or maybe not enough coffee. His hostess seems enchanted with his presence, and Chloe is adequately caffeinated.
