highlights, so far

so these have been some great parts, so far, of this trip.

  • meredith and david and miriam visiting, and hanging out at coffeeshops and just around. 
  • seeing the orchid garden area called mochivoa or something, with lots and lots of epiphytes and bromeliads as well as orchids. we also saw lots and lots of epiphytes and bromeliads on the hike we did into the cloud forest. the steps on the hike were really nice. 
  • on that hike, we got to a rest stop and sat down and a whole nest of butterflies fluttered away from us and past us. it was such a surprise that shira screamed, but it was really really amazing and cool
  • hanging out with elana et al and seeing noah and chaya holding hands and playing together and also with shira
  • eating dinners together at our house with dorian and elana's family, and afterwards, cleaning up while elana played guitar and sang, while wearing aviva on her back
  • buying groceries and food things at the crowded marketplace, which noah calls "the silly market."
  • chillequilles at the yik restaurant
  • having a fire in the fireplace at our house; josh making the fire sometimes with the kids' help
  • seeing a very happy aviva crawl on our restaurant table before the food came, back and forth and back and forth, to noah salzman and back to me and back to noah
  • counting oldschool vw beetles with shira salzman. we counted more than 20 each day
