Without Internet in a Costa Rican Rainforest

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

Puerto Viejo, Arenal, and Tamarindo

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

First Family Visit

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

Random snippets of life in 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

Proyecto Asis Wildlife Rescue Center

Recently, we paid a visit to an animal rescue center near La Fortuna, Costa Rica called Proyecto Asis. Our kids can never seem to get enough of animals, and this seemed like a good opportunity to not only see them, but interact with them, learn about them, feed them, and even clean up after them. And it was a blast! [caption id="attachment_28... Read More

Poás and La Paz Waterfall Gardens

Today we had the awesome experience of visiting both Poás volcano (the one we smell from our house), and the La Paz waterfall gardens, where we got to hold toucans, blue morpho butterflies, and red-eye tree frogs, take a ride in a painted ox cart, eat old fashioned Costa Rican treats, and see lots of other animals. What an incredible day! If you ever hav... Read More

Horseback Riding, Crocodiles, and Manuel Antonio

Our fun vacation along the Costa Rican Pacific coast is now over, but we are loving it here in Grecia. We've been without the Internet for a few days though, so I'm a little behind in writing. I'll do my best to catch up here. The last three days of our trip were spent in Manuel Antonio. Horseback Riding [caption id="attachment_2428" align="alignright" width="150" caption="Girls on hors...

Zip-line, Beach, and Monkeys

We've packed a lot of fun into the past couple days, and have even more planned for this week. We're taking advantage of our time at the beach, as well as having a car - and we're loving it! Zip-Line Canopy Tour ... Read More
