Home!

Aaaahhhh - dry air!  After 16 days of 90+% humidity it feels so good to be back in the dry air of Utah!
Friends picked us up at the airport, and Murphy was absolutely ecstatic when we arrived home - lots of kisses and wild running around.  The young lady that stayed at our place and took care of Murph and the house did an excellent job as always - everything was in perfect shape.
Diana had her PG Tips (English tea) which she had missed during the trip, and I'm back on Peet's coffee again.  The ground is still moving on us - just sitting here typing it seems as if we are at anchor with a very gently rolling swell.
Things seem very quiet now - no scheduled activities, just able to sit, drink our beverage, read the paper and watch the birds.  Speaking of birds, the hummingbirds are still here despite 35 to 50 degree temperatures.  We filled their feeder this morning and immediately they were there to drink.
A flower note - heliconias are everywhere in Costa Rica. At the hotel in San Jose, I went out at night and caught these with spotlights on them.  Such beauty everywhere.
