Sean phoned a short while ago to let me know they were 10 miles inside the border of Costa Rica.  They travelled all day in a torrential rain storm and were wet to the bone.  It shows no sign of letting up tomorrow either.  They grabbed the first hotel that had room for them and Sean said it was a dive - but it was dry.  We had a very poor phone line connection (probably not helped by the storm) so conversation was very limited.  

Thanks Chris and Peter for your kind words about my cookies.  I guess I'd better make a super big one if it's going to be auctioned off.  There will be regular sized cookies for sale at NobleFest with 100% of the money from sales going to Kids Cancer Care.  I'm trying to get 2,000 baked and hopefully with some help from my students, decorated.  They are a well trained crew as we host 3 cookes sales a year for the students at WPE and we usually sell over 1,000 cookies in two days during each sale.  

I told Sean to let Ryan know we would be waiting eagerly for the next installment of his blog!
