Costa Rica, unveiled.

My pal and fellow blogger, Dan, has requested more photos of Turks and Caicos. I posted every photo I had. My camera broke our first night on the island. Fortunately, Ben has post-engagement pics.

Instead, I offer pictures from another trip. My sister studied Spanish last fall in Costa Rica. Before she left, Mom and I talked her into being our tour guide -- uh, more like pool guide for eight days.

These will have to satisfy you all for a few days. I'm going to New York City tomorrow via Peter Pan bus. (Laugh here). Ben runs the New York City marathon with 36,999 other runners on Sunday. I'll be there to cheer him on and be his post-run nurse.
