The 4th and Patines Musica


Three of my favorite EWHers and their host mother, Rocío, baked a double layer American flag cake for the 4th of July. Funfetti cake, vanilla icing, red fruit loops, and an unconventional but intuitive inter-layer bed of sprinkles entertained and satisfied nearly the entire program. Thanks girls!

Patines Musica is your typical Costa Rican roller skating rink. A hard-floored, tin-roofed room substantially smaller than most roller skating rinks in the states (but with twice as many people) reverberated with the sounds of N’sync, Celine Dion, and Bob Sinclair. Patines also seemed to be hosting the national convention of All-Costa Rican doubles figure roller skating- some of the talent there was incredible.

Well, A.J., on to your next adventure. I know you guys will leave an everlasting impression on those kids and their Mom. Sounds like they will leave one with you, also. Take care.
