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.

All Together Now

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.

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

Orchids, Painted Rock, and Rincon Valley

On Monday, we got a late start in the morning, which has been typical for us, lately. When went to the Serpentarium, which we'd heard was a lot of fun, and they let you hold a a boa constrictor, we re... Read More
