We've now had a week with hardly a drop of rain here in Uvita.  I assume people all over Central America are in about this same phase of transition.

Yesterday I pulled out the garden hose and started to water the plants.  They needed it.  I managed to break one of the plastic connections (very brittle from the sun) on the water pipe and so we currently have a rather large fountain spraying in the yard, luckily right next to the sugar cane.  Tomorrow I'll head to our local hardware store and see what Costa Rica has to offer to fix the pipe back up.

Today I found out a guy named Robert who is making coconut oil in Panama and selling some(giving it away at the price I saw advertised).  I invited him to join here, and now I see he has joined.  Hurrah for coconut oil!  So if you're in Panama, send a message to user bratliff on this board to find out how to get your hands on some of his coconut oil.

We're having gorgeous weather in the Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica area. A welcome relief after the flooding.
