This was the scene as the sun went down the first evening in Costa Rica. This is truly a beautiful country! Glorious warm people and fantastic geography are only part of the charm. We had had a full day of traveling starting with the 10:30 pm bus trip from Stevens Point to Chicago, the flight to Charlotte, and then the final leg into Alajuela, Costa Rica. I was so tired; I slept nearly the entire way on both flights here. At the Airport, Al’s medical luggage (consisting of used, donated eyeglasses) got hung up in the system…and had to be left at the airport over the weekend. We will have to get them back by paying a tax, however much they want. It will also require that several key people will have to take the time to go back to the airport to retrieve them, time that would be better off spent helping people at the clinic. But our team is focused on our mission and refuses to be upset by “challenges”. I am amazed at the strength of faith from this Woodlands group, and proud to be a part of such a positive team.
