What was I doing in Costa Rica?

I recently traveled to Costa Rica with my husband, parents, siblings, and their children for two fabulous weeks of visiting lots of family (some of whom I had not seen in 35 years), sight seeing and of course eating lots of wonderful food. My mother was born in Costa Rica and and my dad met her there while he was on a 4-H exchange trip in 1956. They were married in San Jose, Costa Rica in 1957 and the primary purpose of our trip was to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary in the country where they were married. Most of my Costa Rican family lives in or near Cartago which is about 15 miles west of the capitol city, San Jose.
