Semana Santa (Holy Week)

For those of you that are unfamiliar with Latin America or other Catholic countries, those countries really like to celebrate Semana Santa (Holy Week).  Many people get the majority of the week off of work and school, especially Thursday - Sunday.  And since it falls at the end of the dry season in Costa Rica, it's a great time for Ticos (Costa Ricans) to take off for the beach.  In fact, about 20% of the population heads for the coast at some point this week.  

We did not go to the beach, but we have been doing the next best thing.  That's right, the old baby tub/bucket in the garage trick.  It's been really sunny and hot for the past few weeks and our house starts feeling a little bit like an oven around 11:30am.  So that's the perfect time to bust out the baby tub and mop bucket.  It's a great way to entertain Caia, cool everybody down, and pass a little time.   Plus Caia looks funny when she's squatting in the bucket.
