Well, we've had a few days to get settled in here in San José, and while there's still a TON that we need to discover and find out here, it's been fun figuring some things out. It's beautiful here, and we're going to love living in San José. I wanted to take a minute and show you in pictures what it looks like where we'll be living for the next 8 months.
These murals are on a wall right around the corner from our house... they're very beautiful, and the girls keep asking me to take their pictures in front of them :)
We live right next to Parque el Bosque in the part of San José known as San Francisco de dos Rios. Parque el Bosque means "Forrest Park," and the park lives up to the name. It's a full city-block square, and is full of trees. It's beautiful, and even has some places for the kids to play when we have the time.
This is the street we live on. I'd tell you what street it is, but the streets here have no name! (That's right, U2 fans, those places do exist :) ) The street is nice, but it's fairly busy, and VERY noisy at all hours, which is taking some getting used to.
San José is a beautiful city, with gorgeous mountains nearby, and green EVERYwhere! (and, Casper readers, it's handy for us to keep our sense of direction here, since the mountains are to the south, just like in Casper).
There are lots of shops and restaurants in the neighborhood, which is great...the one thing that surprised me is the number of Chinese places around... these are just 3 of what have to be 6-8 different ones within a mile of our house!
And this is our house! We live here (everything from the driveway to the left, the right side is another house). We love the house, and will hopefully show you more of it in posts to come!

What a gorgeous place to live! I cannot wait to hear all about the work you're doing and will be doing! Tell my Cubbies 'hi!' for me! I will miss them tonight!
Much love,
