The vast expanses of Chicagoland

Oh, Home! I can't express how wonderful it is to see everyone, and get notes from long lost friends and far away cousins! I'm really surprised how many people have been keeping track of us. It makes us feel loved. thanks. So...we've been in Chicago-land for the past two weeks...babysitting nieces and getting caught-up on such wonderful americanisms as YouTube and 24. So far the reverse culture shock has been mild...the hardest part is just remembering to throw your toilet paper in the toilet...not the trash can, like we've been doing for the past 4 months. It's weird how quickly you make new habits. Oh, and I still get thrown off when a cashier talks to me in English. Don't know why.
Anyway...we're gonna try and get on that picture thing now...kay? I'm serious.
Here...I'll prove it to you.



This is Scott's birthday at Volcan Irazu in Costa Rica!
