Air conditioning...There is no such thing.

So, this came into my head last night before I lay me down to bed.

Just imagine the title said in his voice...yes.
I can call upon witnesses to aver the fact that I have called air conditioning the greatest invention of modern times (or words to that effect). They don't seem to have it here in Costa Rica though.

To be honest, the temperatures are not bad, so I shouldn't complain over much. That being said, I like my bed to be dry as a sheet when I use it, and that just isn't possible when your room is cooled by the outside air.

My employer informed me today that yesterday was actually the hottest day this year in San Jose, and it was only about 88 degrees (that's a guess).
They also don't know what humidity is. Obviously it is humid when it rains (which is most afternoons in the summer), but the rest of the time it is not anywhere near as humid as you will find the DC area to be.

In other words, summer here is pretty mild, just be sure to bring your umbrella...and maybe hip waders.

I will note in this first post that I make no promises to every post again, but against that eventuality I will refrain from disclosing any further secrets at this time. God bless you all!

  2. Gee, Jacob, when you said jungle you weren't kidding. And oh, by the way, we don't need air conditioning here in So. California although our friends here (the family we are staying with) do turn it on when the temp hits a terribly hot 80 degrees with very little or no humidity...I would like to say I miss the muggy but I really don't, just the great green of Virginia. By the way the friends we are staying with were in Costa Rica recently for a wedding...they told us about the great road signs so you never get lost...oops I mean land marks. They also told us some of their own harrowing adventures. Please keep us posted so we know you are still alive.

    I place you safely in Tabernacle.

  3. Yes, directions here are a bit whimsical. The weather is not too bad fortunately - although at this time of year it rains nearly every afternoon.

    Thank you for your prayers!
