Costa Rica

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

Costa Rica, Personal, Travel

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

Costa Rica

The past week, we've been privileged to enjoy our first visit from family since we moved to Costa Rica 6 months ago. My dad, step-mom, two brothers and a sister came and stayed with us for 6 days. It was great to see them again and to spend time together seeing this beautiful country - not to mention the many hours we spent playing foosball! Everyone had a great time! Since time was short, we p... Read More

Costa Rica

I have been keeping several photos and videos on my computer for the past few weeks because I wasn't sure if wanted to dedicate an entire blog post to any one of them. So I figured today I would just post some random photos and videos that show what's been going on in our lives the past few weeks. I hope you enjoy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92hZodz34qU Click any picture to see a larger ... Read More

Costa Rica

After weeks of looking for cars, filling out paperwork, dealing with required lawyers, setting up a corporation, waiting for wire transfers, waiting for plates, waiting for repairs, and lots of red tape, we... still don't have a car... Before we moved here, we were told it's difficult to get things done in Costa Rica - that everything moves at a slower pace here. And I now have... Read More

Costa Rica

Rather than hang around the B&B today, we decided to take a short trip to the nearby World of Snakes museum in Grecia, which houses over 50 varieties of snakes, lizards, and other reptiles (as well as a couple toucans). The museum is a quick $4 taxi ride from the center of town, and a 30 minute walk back (uphill). Entrance fees are $11 for adult... Read More

Costa Rica

We have now been in Costa Rica for over two weeks! Since we got here, we haven't been doing many "touristy" things. Instead, we've been busy trying to find a place to live. And I think we finally found it! But there is so much else that happened this week, I'm going to leave the house hunting out of this post, and I'll cover that next time. To learn about this week, read on! Making Little ... Read More

Costa Rica

We've looked at a lot of houses for rent this week, in the small towns of Costa Rica, and have gone from excitement to discouragement and back again. Now we're just confused. We've seen everything from a luxury estate with an infinity pool, jacuzzi, and million dollar view, to tiny, run-down Tico houses that would be more claustrophobic than comfortable. Yet, we're still not sure what ... Read More

This morning, we decided to fulfill Marie's biggest wish since she got here: go swimming. Unfortunately, after about a 10 minute walk to the pool, we found out that it was closed. It turns out that many shops, restaurants, and other facilities close on Mondays. And some just close whenever they want to - this is Costa Rica, after all. ... Read More
