Malaysia, Penang

Well, we're here! We've been enjoying Penang, Malaysia for about a week now, and while we've mostly spent the time getting settled, cleaning and organizing the house, and trying some delicious food, it's been a great adventure and in this post I'll share my first impressions and some pictures. First of all, it's a lot hotter and more humid here than I expected. It reminds me of Tokyo in August.... 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

Guatemala, Travel

We just got back from an 8-day trip to Guatemala as a final visa run before we have some visitors over the next few months. This was our first time in Guatemala, but I hope it won't be our last. We really enjoyed our time there. When researching the trip, one caution I continued to hear was the extremely high crime rate, including murders, muggings, car hijacking, and all sorts of things. So I ... Read More

Costa Rica, Panama

This past week we made our second visa run since moving to Costa Rica. We have to make our way out of the country every 90 days, and this time we chose to drive to Panama and visit our friends in Volcán, whom we met on our 6-week trip last year. It was quite an adventurous week, including driving on a closed highway with fallen rocks, being stopped by dishonest police officers in Panamá for doin... Read More

Costa Rica

Today we decided to take advantage of having a car (yes, we finally got one!), so this afternoon we drove to a nearby town called Zarcero. It's about an hour away from our house in Grecia, and has some beautiful topiary gardens in its central park reminiscent of Dr. Seuss trees. On the way there, Emily was getting a little car sick, so we stopped in the town of Sarchí, famous for its painted o... Read More

Panama City

Yesterday, we bid goodbye to Bocas on a half-rainy, half-sunny day, and headed back to Panama City for another two nights before coming back home to Utah. We had a great time in Bocas, although being so far away from civilization for a week was a bit of a challenge for us, especially when we didn't have power or water. But it was still a great experience. Today was our last day in Panama. We fl... Read More
