Virus alert...

Well it has been another beautiful day in Costa Rica, we have had glorious sunshine all day. Will was up and surfing by 6am with a guy who runs one of the tourist offices here, an American called Bill, when he was in the water he met a few more people, one from the UK who has also taken a year out with his wife and 2 year old but they are living in Costa Rica for a year. Will surfed til 9:00 and then we went for breakfast on the beach and Sam had his usual pancakes. After that we came home and Sam did some English and it was his best session yet, he's really learning to look at the language used in a text and to work out how that creates the atmosphere - we looked at an extract from Wuthering Heights (which I think he kind of enjoyed). His next task will be to write a creative piece with a horror theme!!

Then he had his usual couple of hours in the water. His surfing (like his English) has really come on a lot in the last few days and he is now paddling out back with Will (for those of you who don't speak surf it means that he goes further out, where he can't stand up) and he's really good at it.

We are still not sure what our next move will be... we think perhaps we will either rent a car and drive to Santa Teresa or take the bus to Playa Hermosa further down the coast, the problem is we aren't very good at making a decision about it and to be honest we are quite happy here - the waves are good for Sam and Will and we are starting to meet more people in the village and have been invited to a concert tomorrow night on the beach front. Tonight we will make a group decision and decide on the next step.

Last night I had a mini heart attack - I switched on the computer and had a message to say we had a virus and to download the software to stop it - like an idiot I pressed the button and we were infected with 20 viruses... I asked the lady who runs the hotel if she could help and she called her friend who came round last night and fixed it and set up a security system for us and only charged us $20 (phew!) so we are all up and running again. We have all had a bit too much sun today so Sam and Will are just watching TV as I type this. Wills' foot is much better you will all be pleased to know.

Hope you're all well.
