I stayed in Bagaces again this weekend. On Saturday I watched the World Cup game at the new pool and played some soccer after the game was over. Most people were cheering for Brazil because it is nearby and Brazil is a popular team anyway, so there was disappointment when they lost.

There have been quite a lot of changes at work over the past couple of weeks. Mark, the intern from the US has left, and Zanda from the Bahamas is leaving next week. Also there is a new intern from the States that started working on Monday. She will be working in the office part time writing the manual for the software, and spending the rest of the time on the ranch with the horses. So finally I am not the new intern anymore, but I still have the worst Spanish.

We finished the 2 week mini soccer tournament this week and my 2 player team ended up as the winners. A lot of the people were surprised because I am from soccer-poor Canada, but I was lucky to have an excellent teammate. I now have eight extra bucks to spend. Of course I'll probably have to spend it on shoes because I am in the process of ruining my second pair of shoes. My first pair already had the treads come off from playing too much soccer and hiking.

It is vacation time for the kids here. They only have 2 or 3 weeks off now, but they have two months off at Christmas. The family also got a new truck because the old one was breaking down all the time.
