Friday Evening with Friends!

What could be better than a nice evening spent with friends?  Especially friends who prepare a wonderful meal, right down to homemade tortillas!! I originally met Vicki, her mom Doña Vita, and another friend Roxana when I came to Costa Rica the first time in December 2000. They were wonderful to me then and continue to be so. They were so complimentary of the boys, and of course thought they were adorable! Doña Vita is 88 years old and as sweet as sugar. She still makes tortillas every day, from scratch, by hand, and let me tell you they are delicious! Sadly, when it was time to go, she gave me a hug and a kiss and told me it would be the last time she saw me... made me want to cry. The first time I met her, she gave me a Christmas stocking she had embroidered, and I still get it out every year!

Here we are enjoying our meal...

Around the table... Doña Vita, Francisco, me, Roxana and Vicki
