Fire Fire

It's been a while since I posted anything. The reason for that is because our house caught on fire! It occurred Sunday morning, June 3, 2007 while we were on vacation in Costa Rica. The owner of Piedras y Olas, Chris Berry was vacationing with us. These amazing photos were taken by our friends George, Denny and Natalie.
Many people showed up to help put out the fire and carry out our personal belongings. Dan Fisher, a third generation fireman from the Phoenix, Arizona area, was a hotel guest and helped organized the effort. Sailboat captain Denny Meijering directed many of the people.
The roof of the house sustained the most damage. The house itself is made of concrete and did little damage to the overall structure. The roof will be totally replaced. The cause of the fire was determined to be electrical.

Reconstruction has already started and in about three month's time we will move back! In the meantime we are staying at another villa at the resort.
We cannot thanks our friends enough for all their efforts!
