Las Fiestas de Palmares, Minesterio de Salud




So, I went with my friends on a trip on Sunday to the biggest fiestas of the year, in all of Costa Rica. They take place in Palmares, which is really only on the map because it ahs a big party once a year. It was fun. We got on a party bus at 8 am in Santa Rosa, and got back at 1 am that night. The day was full of a concert, drinking, dancing, food. It is pretty much like a huge carnival or something. I had a really great time.

Yesterday Ligia and I had a meeting with an official in the Ministry of Salud. She was super helpful. She took a look at the preliminary plans that we have drawn up for our childcare center, and gave us some really useful suggestions. I am pretty psyched about the fact that we are actualyl having real plans made, which means we can get a serious price estimate, which means I can do some serious fundraising in the last 2 months I have left. An engineer is coming to look at the lot next week, and we are also installign the playground. it should be a busy few days.
