This year one of our goals on the journey was to seek out some of the cultural and historical sites that the desert southwest has to offer. For Katie and myself, our public school education conspicuously lacked much of an indigenous history component. We want to make certain that Finn experiences the places and the artifacts that remain, and fully understands the history of how this nation came to be....

The low: visiting the busiest National Park in the country
The high: experiencing the 'real' Costa Rica - both the people and the place

Still waiting for babies….goat babies http://wp.me/p2cpmD-1MS

Still no babies.....and no signs of labor as of 30 minutes ago. Oh, the drama!
