My sister Maggie’s 40th birthday. I sent her happy birthday text, but did not get anything back. And I tried sending her some money via Zelle the same way I had done in the past, but got a message back a few hours later saying it had failed to go through. Not sure I have any good contact information for her.

Also, Christopher had texted the day before asking if we were going to do the Houston Half Marathon. I said we were and he is going to fly down for it. Now I have to get ready. Only 3 weeks. I had decided to run 5 miles this morning. I got up early and went out on the run.

Lots of neat sites along the way.

It says “Welcome to Aloha – The Place where there is no world crisis”

I only ended up running 2 miles. But it was a start. On the walk back I saw this coffee place with a cat in an astronaut suit. I had to stop.

It was a cafe called ‘Jet Fuel’. I got an iced coffee and admired the other photos.

Lots of street art in Jaco.

Sonia was ready for me when I got back to the Best Western.

We had breakfast, and then went for a swim

And saw the iguana again.

Had a pina colada

Took an Uber to “Roasted Edge” that seemed to have boardgames according to Google maps.

Taught Linus spades. And we also played dominos.
