Kathy, I should change my thread to "greetings from rainy Costa Rica' It hasn't stopped for over 24 hours and will continue for the rest of the day. The temp is still warm, yet showers galore. The storm covers the entire country. The only danger is near the coast by Limon where they are known to have mudslides on the highways. In addition, shanty towns in low areas are prone to flooding as well. I am safe and thanks for asking. This is the perfect day to stay in bed with a few good movies. Best regards, Richard
