What a wonderful way to start my day. Breeze blowing, birds chirping and soft music playing next door. I finally figured out that in order to cool my room and myself off, I would have to open the side door (which leads to an atrium) and get a cross wind blowing. Amazing difference in temperature and humidity in my room. It also helps that a storm appears to be brewing which is bringing in the wind as well. Today I hope to go exploring some more.
One of the observations I have made is that security is a big deal here in Costa Rica. Every house and business has iron bars on every glass surface. Razor wire topping iron fences, garage door openers for fences, and iron gates to enter before you enter the house. I would liken it to a fortress.
Yesterday as I was out exploring with Chip, we heard this blood-curdling scream that appeared to be from a female as we walked past a house. It scared me as I was worried that someone was being hurt, but both Chip and I agreed that it was possible that someone was trying to lure us into a bad situation. With a heavy heart, we continued walking, and I prayed that if someone was truly being hurt, that God would be with them. I also prayed that God would keep me safe. I am very grateful that Chip will be accompanying me when I go exploring. I believe that God has placed him here at the same time as I. I think he was as happy as I when we met, because he had no one to speak English with until I came along. What a comfort.
