Help in Samoa, por favor. (& check out the surfer girl!)

Buenos dias, todo el mundo!

What's new? For us:

First, please check out my brother Greg's blog at http://www.microdreams.org/blog/. As many of you know, Greg has been doing extraordinary work over the past nine years assisting the poor of Samoa, in the South Pacific. That island nation was just devastated with an 8.0 earthquake followed by a Tsunami. Greg's organizations, Microdreams and SPBD, are the organization leading the relief effort in Samoa. I urge you to read Greg's blog to understand the magnitude of the problem and to make a donation at http://www.microdreams.org/help.html. Thanks so much.

Here in Costa Rica, an iguana just tried to enter the house. Just another day. Tara shooed him away.

The kids are enjoying school. Here is Riley working with some friends on short vowel sounds.




And, here are two baby goats just born at the school. Not so far from the kids experience at Burgundy Farm...

And, in huge news, a Surfer Queen is born. Tara had her first lesson and ride today. She totally hung 10, dude. Totally. She's rad. Check out this vid. It is impossible on video to capture the extreme size of the waves she was riding.

That's all for now...

Pura Vida.
