Costa Rica Update

I have been very busy trying to get everything set up here. I moved into a virtually empty house. The pugs are also adjusting to their new surroundings and the temperature. I bought a new portable air conditioning unit because 75 degrees in the house was not cool enough for Oscar. Two days ago, I attempted to get utilities turned on at the house, but couldn't because I didn't have my corporation papers. Ugh. So yesterday, I drove to our attorney's office an hour and a half away to pick them up and drop Barney off at the airport. This morning I went with my corporate papers and had the electric switched over, got a Costa Rica cell phone with wifi, ordered internet and satellite tv. The satellite tv will be hooked up tomorrow and the internet within the next week. It has been raining on and off here the past few days. Last night, a storm knocked out our power. Oscar was panting nonstop due to the a.c. being off so I gave him a cold bath and sat with him in the car with the a.c. on until he fell asleep. I think I will buy a generator today so this does not happen again. I also need to go buy a tv today and do some laundry as I no longer have any clean clothes. Buying a washer and dryer is also high on my to do list. The pets seem to be adjusting well to the new house. They especially like the large fenced yard. I have seen 3 scarlet macaws at the house this week as well as a large iguana but I'm still looking for the toucans. The weather here has been in the low 80's this week, which is cooler than I expected. Pura Vida! I will be posting more when I have internet hooked up at the house.
