Hi all,
Believe it or not, I somehow worked out how to get into the blog, hopefully Iwill be able to continue to sign in.
So we sent three nights in Mexico City at our favourite family home stay Frieda and Diegos.
Lovely to be with the family again. They are so welcoming, hospitable and helpful.
The only negative is the pressure of the showers, which is almost non existent.
We felt at home in Mexico City, going back to our favourite cafe for morning expresses, and dinner at Tonos, a great local eatery which the locals love.
Yesterday, friday, we were up early to fly to Costa Rica.
As you may have heard, there was a hurricane a few days ago in Costa Rica. This effected the east coast and the south east coast of Nicuaragua. So we won't be travelling to that area, as we had previously planned.
So we are currently in the midlands/highlands, in a city called Alajuela. I love this first stop in Costa Rica. The people are lovely and already in the festive season. Do people in Australia already have Christmas stuff out?
We had planned to do A day trip today to Volcan Poas, but Hasi woke feeling crook, so we will do that tomorrow.
Today we have just hung around town, checking out the market, drinking coffee, watching the locals, enjoying the local talent with a concert in the park, and we also did a big shop and gave it to the Red Cross that is collecting for the hurricane victims.
The weather here is high humidity, due to the hurricane and also as this area is famous for cloud forests. Last night there was a constant mist hanging over the town which was eerie but also very beautiful, sort of like when you see those frosted photos that soften everything.
The woman in Central America love tight and tighter when it comes to clothes. They don't worry about the bulges bubbling out the side or tops of their clothes, they just strut their stuff and I love it.
Maybe one day I will feel as confident as them, and go for the one size smaller.
I want to try to add a photo or 2, but not sure if I can so I will sign off on this blog and try to reopen a new one. Fingers crossed
I sent a few emails to mum and dad and Annie, as they were the only address I had, hope you got them. This iPad is new for me, and I'm still trying to work it all out.
Moo I tried to write to you on vibes several times, but I couldn't get through.
So love to all,
Zak and Hasi

Hey Kate, got your emails. Sounds like you are having a great trip. I think you can send photos with emails. So I can read the blog and the emails. make sure you are checking on the blog for comments, remember this is the only way I can post. I miss you!! It feels strange having a weekend where I do not ring you. (well I actually missed you after 2 nights!) My barbecue with my band went really well. It was lovely, and I barbecued! For the first time ever, two of my boys taught me as I cooked, then they took over, then they insisted in cleaning the bBQ before they left. What an honour it is to have these young people in my life. Anyway that's about all, keep posting or emailing or whatever, love to read about your travels.
Hi Annie.Great to hear the barbie all went well. Yes not many teachers have such an amazing relationship with their students.
Miss you and the girls as well. Love xx
I aspire to be like my father, who still sees his students 50 years after he teaches them!
