Have you ever had duck for dinner? Ever seen it in all its glory before eating? This duck s sliced and rolled in a soft wrap with a wonderful sauce and served with amazing panache at dinner. Maybe I won’t post the jellyfish that accompanied it.

Soaked in Bangkok
2 AprGuess what? 
It rains in Bangkok! After a very nice Thai dinner with my wife and our colleagues under the stars and trees, a few drops started coming down. Then a few more. Then the bottom dropped out. The walk back to our hotel turned out to be a shower before bed. There’s nothing like walking into a nice hotel dripping all over their marble floor. Thais are by nature and culture very polite and smile all the time. This was no exception, but I wonder what they were thinking as we walked in. Probably the Thai equivalent of “Crazy Gringos!”
Tomorrow we begin our 40 hour journey home. This time however, we will have 12 hours in Dallas where a friend has graciously offered to pick us up and let us recover at his home before returning us to the airport. That should at least give us a chance to arrive back in Costa Rica with some rest under our belts.
It has been a productive week, but we’re ready to see the family again!
Night life in Bangkok
30 MarLife in Bangkok is a little crazy. Ten million people make it one of the world’s bigger cities and its streets could be like those in just about any big world city. Nights are loud, traffic is wild, and the mix of people, tuk-tuks and vivid lights add to the mystery of this Asian capital. Tonight as we were walking back from dinner we came across a sight you wouldn’t expect in most large cities…a baby elephant out for a stroll entertaining the residents. Although the camera in my phone isn’t the best, you can still get an idea of that interesting sight.
LeadTeam in Thailand!
27 MarWe arrived in Hong Kong, rested and breakfasted in the club which we were comp’d by the airline! Imagine our surprise when our Reachglobal colleagues Bob and Joyce showed up when we boarded the plane to Thailand…and where were they seated? Directly in front of us! This morning after a full 12 hours or so of sleep, we worked out, showered and enjoyed fresh raspberries and sushi(Cathi) for breakfast! Brian has meetings, but I’ll be checking out the shopping so I can buy some things at a lower price than in Costa Rica! Pics to follow later, and join me in praying for our day of fasting and prayer, Sunday( Saturday the 28th for those of you in the US and Latin America)March 29th.
The endless night
25 MarCathi and I are on our way to Bangkok for a week and a half to attend our mission’s leadership conference. We left our house at 6 a.m. on Tuesday and as I write this we are sitting in the Hong Kong airport 36 hours later, waiting for our last flight to get us to Bangkok. Quite a trip! We just took the longest flight either of us has ever taken – 14 hours in the air from Los Angeles to Hong Kong in a 747-400, the big nice double-decker kind. We have to admit we’re a bit envious of the business class and first class cabins. Much more conducive to rest than coach!
Hospitality for a Houseful
14 Mar
Matt and his Wheaton buddies have worked, played and eaten this Spring Break! We are so thankful that they chose to visit Costa Rica! Here they are after a day of demolition at the Prometa office. Now some other teams can come and build what Prometa envisions! Just the thing to erase some mid-semester stress, frustration and get those endorphins and those appetites invigorated!
