Programs between KU and Costa Rica gave me opportunities to travel down into Costa Rica and sometimes I was able to take Jane and various of our four chilren. . The first time I went down the team from KU drove around the country and visited many programs and schools. we were able to exchange ideas and some of the educators were to come to Lawrence Kansas and visit some of our programs.
AS I got more familiar with the cultures I got asked to to down and present and another time to visit special Education programs through out the Central American countries.
One of the most memorable times was when I decided to drive down to San Salvador and take my oldest son Mike with me. By the Way my Spanish was not as good as my Norwegian and that is not to say much. We went down into Mexico and over to the Eastern Coast to Vera Cruz.
WE spent some time in Vera Cruz which was interesting. Mike may have some memories that I don't have but I'll let him comment. I'll have to chunk this so we can get some of the adventures in as we go along.

What a cool summer job. And of course the experience must have influenced Mike because he's become quite "Mike-the-traveler" as well!!
Amazing how quickly one's Spanish improves when one is faced with finding a restroom or food...
