A Costa Rican travelogue...

A beautiful airborne sunrise. What a great way to start out the day--soaking in the beauty of God's Creation

The Cows that never ceased to visit the schoolyard.

Always bathed in the splendor of God's glory each evening.

God's promises ring true throughout the world as the rainbow reaches over the San Jose valley.

Never able to soak up enough beauty, warmth, and sunshine.

Oh yeah, we did do some authentic Costa Rican work while we were there too :)

For those of you who may never have the privilege of visiting this beautiful country filled with beautiful people, I hope this brings just a taste of Costa Rica to you.

This past Saturday Pigeon Creek Park was an awesome place to be. We arrived as the snow was beginning to melt. The woods was full of the plop and whoosh sounds of heavy snow falling from the trees...truly a winter wonderland!
