Relaxing weekend at home & Family Fiesta

After weeks of non stop traveling, we finally decided to spend a weekend at home in San Pedro and go with Nuri to a family party. The party was all day Saturday in a town about a 30 minute drive out of San Jose. It was at a beautiful property up in the hills, with a huge under cover eating area, large lawn, and a nice refreshing swimming pool, perfect for the 90 degree weather. We spent all day lounging by the pool and playing with Nuri's two grandchildren, Camilla and Eduardo, they are two of the cutest and smartest little kids I have ever met, they are currently learning English, Portuguese, and French on top of learning their home language Spanish. As much as I normally hate children, they are so fun to play with and too adorable to resist, I think I'm getting good practice since I'm going to be an aunt in a couple of months! Anyways, we got to meet a bunch of Jorge's family (Nuri's husband) and eat a delicious dinner of soups, salads, and lots of meat. It was definitely a relaxing weekend after 5 straight weekends of traveling and nice to meet more family members who we could practice our Spanish with. On Sunday we explored downtown a little more, checked out Parque Sabana and the surrounding area, and came home to a yummy dinner of Chop Suey from Nuri(which was great because I have craving Asian food like no other since I have been down here). A nice relaxing weekend at home was just what we needed, but we were ready to take another adventure, we can't let these weekends go to waste, they are going so fast!
