My new address

Okay. So it's highly unlikely that I'll be receiving any mail during my stay in Costa Rica. But, since I do have the address to my new house, I figured I'd share it with the rest of you. I hope you have a few minutes to spare, because it's a bit lengthy to write down.

Here goes:

San Isidro de Coronado (that's the name of the town) -- By the Catholic church, 500 meters north, 25 meters west. First house on the right, with the red door, tiled roof, green columns, and a chimney.

Ummm, yeah. So basically what I'm saying here is, "Don't write me. I'll write you."

I wonder what types of mix-ups occur with the postal service down there. Do you think that my new house often receives mail intended for the house that's located only 490 meters north of the Catholic church? How about the house that's 510 meters north?

And what about roofing material blunders?

"How many times do I have to tell you incompetent mail people? This is the house with the TILED roof! The THATCHED roof is across the way! For Christ's sake!"

My father actually made a good point, though. At least the address doesn't say something like, "500 meters north of where the Catholic church USED to be."

So, this should be interesting. I just hope they weren't planning on doing any painting before I arrive. If that door isn't red, and those columns aren't green, I'm in big trouble.

Maybe I should write them a letter.
