Yes, We have a bridge!!!
Gone is the rustic charm of driving through the river - no more can I see the shocked look on people's faces when I say, "you go off to the right and down through the river".
I must say it was part of normal life in Costa Rica - the challenges, the lack of infrastructure, the making due - - we have only experienced it for short periods, not like our friends who have been here full time for almost 5 years! A whole lot has changed - things that make life easier - more like North America - good in one respect, but sad in another.
Well, no more worrying about being able to get home when the sky suddenly goes dark and the rain comes down in buckets!
It is a nice bridge.
And there can be no doubt who paid for it!
Some photos of construction.
I'm with you--happy and sad at the same time. It was always fun to tell people we had to drive through a river to get to our property. But it will be safer now. Looks like they did a nice job. Are you in Ojochal right now?
ReplyDeleteLisle was there in early May and is heading back next week for 2 months - I will join him for the month of August
DeleteAh, then we may be able to meet Lisle since we will be there in about 2 1/2 weeks, but only for 10 days.
