No Phone, No Address

Over the weekend, someone asked for my phone number. I replied, "We do not have a phone." "Okay, what's your address, then?" "Well, that's a bit complicated."



The fact is that a letter arrived at our house last week addressed as follows:

Montoya Blanco Marcos (owner of the house)

Santa Elena Monteverde Cerro Plano

7a Casa despues de Viandante (seventh house after the Viandante)

50 Norte Del Sapo Dorado (50 meters north of the Sapo Dorado Hotel)

Puntarenas (the county, more or less)

Costa Rica



So, if anyone wants to send us anything, please send it to us in care of the school:

Centro de Educacion Creativa

Apartado 23-5655

Monteverde, Puntarenas

COSTA RICA



Please note that packages larger than a large, padded envelope may get stuck in Customs 4 1/2 hours away, but anything as large as or smaller than a large, padded envelope will arrive within in 5-7 days. Others here have been receiving things sent to them at the school without any problems.

At the fundraiser over the weekend, one of the students sang a rap-like song to thunderous applause... ...and one of the school's many volunteers videotaped the festivities (center).
