Talk about Southern Hospitality !!

Over the past two weeks, I have started to create a few habits. One of my daily rituals is to stop by the Supermercado on the way home and pick up 4 beers. One is for me, one for Melvin, one for Alex, and the last one is always for Agustin. I think the younger boys are starting to get excited about me being here for a while. So the other evening I was sitting in the “Super Room” studying verbs (never thought I would say that) when Agustin came over and handed me a beer. And not just any beer…….he gave me a Bavaria Dark…..which just so happens to be the most expensive beer in Costa Rica by far. I am sure there are people reading this wondering why this is such a big deal. Well, if you have seen any of the pics that have been posted, you will notice that my family is by no means wealthy. The simple act of Agustin taking time out of his day (they only sell Bavaria Dark at one place in town) to go and purchase me a beer….is nothing short of amazing.


Unbelievable how significant some of the most insignificant things can be………..
