2 Things

Thing 1: Jeff is currently taking our paperwork to Juan Edgar's office (our lawyer) to be translated and hopefully turned in and accepted by our "friends" at the migration office. Pray that they will accept it and not say we didn't get it in on time or something!!! I have no idea how long it will take (assuming they DO accept everything) to get our cedulas (the ID card, equivalent of SS card), but I'm hoping for soon--maybe next week??? Might be too much to ask. But when we get those, we'll be residents, with full legal privileges, etc. Aka, we'll be able to get a phone in our own name and other exciting things like that!! :)

Thing 2: We have a new address! It's a Costa Rican PO Box to which you can send letters, care packages, etc. (hint hint) Actually, it's not cheap to send packages, and anything sent is subject to import taxes if the officials feel like tagging those on--it's a gamble, so please don't include anything of much monetary value if you send something. With that said, it is a fairly secure way to send us stuff, and we have APPRECIATED all the packages we have received and have not been charged anything as of yet! I will maybe try to post more specific guidelines later. Here's the address:

Jeff, Tracey, Olivia or Sawyer Dixon
Apartado 946-2400
Desamparados, Costa Rica
América Central
