Today started slow, Emily had zoom meetings this morning so I listened to a book and watched the A/C repair people figure out they need a new compressor. He said he could fix it but it would be cheaper to buy a new one. It has to come from San Jose. The other day I …

Winding down
So we are winding down here, the ocean has taken an ugly turn. Red flags as far as the eye can see. Or at least all the beaches we went past that had flags. Emily did want to try this afternoon just down the way from us but she opted to not be a statistic. …
Slow and easy
Not much excitement went on today. We took a ride over to Puerto Viejo to get a picture of the sign about crocodiles. On the way there we had a run in with the law. Breaking the law… I was given a ticket for not wearing a helmet while driving the scooter. It was an …

Costa Rica belongs to us!!
Our trip is now moving along literally and figuratively. We went down this morning and got ourselves some wheels, little Honda scooter. Top speed is 75 kph or 46.6 mph. Most the speed limits are either 40 kph in town and 60 kph in between towns. They also slow just before the bridges to 40 …
Caribe Town
Happy New Year!!! Our second day of vacation started off with breakfast at the Sleep Inn, same as you would expect back in the states minus the plantain and papaya. Ivan came through for us and our driver was waiting for us when we came out to check just before 9. The drive was just …
