Last week we went with some friends to the Osa Peninsula -- a very remote part of Costa Rica accessible only by boat where there is no Internet access, no cell phone service, and no electricity unless you have your own power source. And we had a fabulous time! Below, I'll be sharing some photos and videos h... Read More

We've now been to most of the tourist hot spots in Costa Rica, including many that are less well known. But that hasn't stopped us from having fun and finding other enjoyable activities to do. During the past few weeks, we've had a great time doing more local activities and being with our friends. I didn't dedicate a blog post to any one of these activities, but I do want to remember them, so I th... Read More

Costa Rica

Last week we enjoyed a fun visit from my wife's parents who came down for nine days. This is the third time we've had family visit since we've lived in Costa Rica, and while we really like having visitors, we've gotten kind of tired of showing the same sites over and over again, especially when they're expensive tourist spots. Yes, La Paz Waterfall Gardens, Monteverde Cloud Forest, and the beach a... Read More

Well, this is it. We're leaving Grecia, which has been our home now for over a year. We've loved it here, and we'll miss the beautiful scenery, slower pace of life, super-friendly people, and our fantastic view of the central valley. However, we're only moving about an hour away, and since this is still Costa Rica, I'm sure we'll continue to meet friendly, laid-back people, and have good weather a... Read More

The past few weeks, we've been very busy looking for our next home, and I haven't had much time to write this blog post. I'll talk about the house hunting later, but for now, I'm going to reminisce about the fun times we had together with my mom and my sister's family when they were here for a visit a few weeks ago. Like me, my mom works on-line, so she was able to come down for a 3-week stay, ... Read More

If you didn't get a Christmas card from me this year, it's not because I don't love you. It's just because I'm lazy. :) In fact, we've been consciously lazy about Christmas this year, and it's been our least stressful holiday season yet! Well, maybe "minimalist" is a better word choice than "lazy". Regardless, it's been a great holiday season for us. Gifts Jen and I aren't really ... Read More

We've been doing a lot of thinking the past few weeks. We've been trying to decide where we'd like to have our baby, and where we'd like to live for the majority of next year. After looking at several different countries, we realized that there weren't a lot of options for dual citizenship in countries we would want to live long-term right now. Yes, Canada and Spain are lovely, but they're also... Read More

Wow! It feels so good to be back here in Costa Rica! I love the warmth weather (a perfect 65-75 degrees), the lush, green vegetation and breathtaking views all around, the friendly, smiling people, the inexpensive food, the spaciousness and quietness of our rental house and the gardens surrounding it, and no plans of anything to see or do -- just total freedom to do whatever I want all day. I am l... Read More

I've been meaning to write a post like this for a while. Since we moved into this house, we regularly encounter new, interesting creatures. While I don't always take photos, I think I have enough now to make a decent post. I don't know the names of most of these animals, but all that you see in the photos and videos below were found either in our house or in our garden here in Grecia, Costa Rica. ... Read More
