Escazu

Last Decemeber our friends Bob and Barbara Nesbitt spent a few weeks living in a little casita on the other side of San Jose in an area called Escazu.  They invited us to come out for dinner and we had a lovely time enjoying the fresh air at their house and our hike up a hill overlooking the central valley.  The road in the photos is actually used by vehicles and a man we met there said an 80 year old woman lived at the top of the hill and drives up it regularly.  

On a completely different note, the girls were invited to perform at the Escazu Country Day School, which is a US style private school.  Their violin teacher, Mercedes Rodriguez, teaches lessons there and wanted the girls to perform half of the first movement of the Bach Double Violin Concerto.  She also asked me to speak to the parents about our experience with the Suzuki method. The concert was at the end of February and it was a success.
