Some of you have inquired about how to contact us or send us stuff - beyond using email. Now that we are established, we have some of those basics worked out.
Our home phone number is 506-249-4810 and our cell is 506-361-6459. When calling from the US, you need to out a 011 in front of the 506. Also, unless it is an emergency, we suggest you call our home number, since we don't know what if any charges there are on the cell phone for receiving international calls.
Our home address is:
De la Cruz Roja, 300 metros al oeste
Casa amarillo
Ciudad Colon, San Jose
COSTA RICA
but we don't know how reliable this is for mail (we have never seen a mail carrier driving or walking around the neighborhood). But if you want to try and be the first one to send us a snail mail letter or postcard, go for it.
If there is something valuable or important you want to send, we also have access to our friend's PO box rather than getting our own (too much of a hassle). The address for that would be:
Rita Zuniga
Apdo. Postal 757-10901-6150
San Jose
COSTA RICA
We see Rita almost every day, so we will get it in a timely fashion once it arrives.
Sorry that this was kind of a boring post. We will have more later on - including stuff about the boys' first week of school, Nancy's first week at the clinic, and Steve's adventures buying a car and trying to get internet service set up at our house.
Take care.
