Those beans sound amazing and the pumpkin (you said "squash"?) looked brilliant.
If you want to do the SmartCash proposal, contact me to help you out with that if you like. I have some experience with that.
Your point about soldiers and police being seen as "heroes" is a very good one and one that is very difficult to digest when people start to talk like that. Luckily, in Costa Rica there is no military.
They certainly are!
Squash is the family, which includes dozens of different kinds, like pumpkins. That one looked to me like it might have been a spaghetti squash (my favorite)
Awesome! I'm having a call with Alais tomorrow to hammer out budget details and such, I'll reach out afterwards :-)
Definite +1 for Costa Rica!
