For those of you who have been following our story and are having a hard time remembering the cast of characters, here is a breakdown:

The scene:

We lost Lindsey and Jefri along the way.

Thomas... is married, but we've not met his wife, Violeta, and children. They live in Santa Maria.
Violeta... sister to Roberto and Thomas, whom we have yet to meet.

Bird expert and beef jerky maker:
Holly... she lives next to Roberto and Adriana's farm. Brian works with her. She's originally from the States, but has lived here most of her life.

House builder/ power of attorney to previous owners/ helping me with the vegetable garden/ huge help to us in general:

Nacho works with her.

Apple orchard neighbour
Cindy and Albarito, mother and father of:

Cindy speaks a bit of English. They live right beside the school.

Coffee plantation farmer
Rolando and Maritza
Friends of Cindy and Albarito, whom we met at Albarito's birthday party Sept 15th. 
They live in Santa Maria and Rolando's coffee plantation is just north of San Marcos. Rolando speaks English.

Retired Arizona couple:

They are friends of the previous owners, which we've happily inherited and they live in Santa Maria. 

Lawyer:

They live in San Jose.

Copey Learning Center:
Seidy... head honcho with her sister Naomi. There is a board of director, which I can't remember all their names right now.
Angela... Peace Corp volunteer who has been teaching there for the last 2 years and will be leaving soon. She's the person I'm replacing. These are the current adult students, which I'm sure I'll be writing about more in future:
Dina
Milena
Jose
Roger
Gregory
Victor

I think that's as thorough as I can get for now. There are people we've met along the way, but the above are the main characters in our story.

    Dave and Krista are a couple from the Pacific Northwest that led overwhelmingly busy lives. 
    As her son Hayden was graduating high school, and daughter Korynn wrapping up college, they realized it was time to slow down. Life was going far too fast . They wanted to take the time to enjoy stress free living with their eight year old son Quinn.
    Having visited Hush Valley Lodge as guests in January of 2016, they decided this would be the exact change they needed.
    In the pursuit of happiness, they partnered with Jo, Peter, Molly, Gary and Dan to make this dream a reality, and are currently the stewards of the magic that is Hush Valley Lodge.
