This week is going to be a short post since I had to work on Saturday to make up for the Easter Week and I didn't do a whole lot this weekend. On Friday night I played soccer again with people from the company and others in town and again had a lot of fun. This time I brought a lot more water because I knew how hot it was going to be.

Saturday night was the final game of the Costa Rican soccer season and it came down to a match up between the two most popular teams in the country, Saprissa and La Liga. Saprissa is from San Jose and is the favorite in my house. La Liga is from nearby Alajuela and is almost as popular. Saprissa won the game and the championship 2-1 and everybody celebrated in Bagaces, even though San Jose is so far away. It would be similiar to the Leafs winning the Cup, assuming the Leafs win the Stanley Cup regularly. Now the next big thing in soccer is the World Cup which is greatly anticipated.

Work is going well and I am closing in on finishing the first version of the program. It is also almost rainy season here. Although it hasn't rained yet, there have been quite a few clouds and some rumbling thunder. I don't know if this is related to the rainy season or not, but I also saw my first scorpion since arriving here. The dogs were barking cautiously at it, so one of them probably got stung. I am managing to practice my Spanish by watching Costa Rican television. Simpsons and Family Guy are very popular in my house and its amazing how some of the voices sound exactly the same in Spanish. Homer sounds like the Bumble Bee Man, though, which is very amusing.

By the way, I have posted some more photos on my photo page.
