INVU - The government was shut down for the past several weeks;  Officially the agencies start Jan. 4--  in reality, it will be around the 11th. before anything like "normal" occurs. We have used the holidays to make revisions to the AyA objections.  As stated previously, those modifications were minor.  When they open again for business, we'll be standing in line. 

We'd like to think that because we have heard from all the sub agencies involved in the INVU review and have addressed their stated issues, that our subsequent submission will be approved. It may be wishful thinking, but we'll see.

Rentals: 108  - Available immediately $1,750 pr month;
                 106A - Available January 6,  at $1,000 pr month.

This 1,716 sf. (plus parking space for one car) two storey, detached house, with two terraces, two bedrooms (one on each floor) and an upstairs master suite is a beautiful home.

This home consists of two VERY large bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms (one on each floor) and a powder room each with closets with extensive built-ins for personal organization. The vaulted living room and ground floor bedroom ceilings as well as the master bedroom on the 2nd floor provide a feeling of grandeur while allowing the warmer air to rise and exit through the ceiling ventilating system.

Weather: This past week we've had normal weather--mostly clear skies with lots of wind.

Residency:  Government closed and all people on holidays;  no progress. I'll try starting up next week.

New Years:  We got a BELCA prime rib of beef.....cut it down to the right size by taking a few steaks, and were left with a fantastic roast for the size of the intended group. After a little extra rimming it was pronounced "perfect" by Terry who then gave it an erotic and sensual rub with his own very special.... and into the oven it went ------- when it was done 2 1/2 hr later, on time, and perfectly cooked.  It was heavenly.....And as expected, we were entertained by a fantastic display of fireworks from around the valley.  The most spectacular was in the community right next to us.....we had the best ring side seat...The heaviest concentration of fireworks started around 11:30 and went through to 1:30...with stragglers lasting longer--but I was asleep by then... These displays all see to be private. 

The 31st and the following 3 days are VERY QUIET.....little traffic, every thing mostly closed...

Applebee's Restaurant:  Had to try it. It was what I expected......pricey, ordinary food, in our case a VERY long wait perhaps because it was VERY busy.....we probably won't be going there very often  but I imagine the Ticos will love it and the restaurant will do well.

San Jose to Caldera Highway:  I took a virtual tour from Piedades cutoff to around Atenas and when in Atenas took a diversion to check it out.....it really look great....can't wait for it to open in a month or so.

Friend Arriving:  I have a friend of 30 years arriving for a week.  He's coming for dental work;  it will be a chance to catch up with him.
