holly's story

rumors, whispers...

we are going crazy, anticipation is a terrible feeling. we have been let down so often. Brad went to put his name down to give a new english class, it was turned down! he isn't allowed to teach english this month "because you'll be out of here so fast!". WHAT?
anyway of course we do not believe it this time, it is a lie to keep him happy and quiet, to keep up the illusion that something is happening! we'll see what happens.
what's newin costa rica? actually, little things happen all the time, people leave, people come back, people are carried off to " the bad place" down the hill. that is the ordinary prison, with hundreds of people around, no sitting outside except on sunday and so on. Where brad is, it looks like an old people's home, flowers and trees and lots of places to sit in the shade.
Waiting for the results of the Valentine's day peotry contest, i do so hope he wins something, just to keep up the spirit.
kiss to all

Good morning from The San Pedro Sun.

Last night, our Annual Poetry Contest was held at Blue Lotus and was a raving success. It was broadcasted live via the airwaves of The Reef Radio. Diners were given Judging Sheets with a list of all the poems submitted and they were the ones that chose the winners.

We are pleased to announce that Mr. Bradley Haylock won in the Foreign Entry category and as such is awarded a year's subscription to The San Pedro Sun.

The poem written for dear Marie was heartwarming and beautiful. San Pedro truly misses her. Bradley congratulations and keep your hopes up!!!
