Hello All: I have not done a post for the last couple of days because I haven’t had a whole lot to write about. We are having a perfectly fine vacation, but I can’t say this is one of our more exciting ones. The water here is beautiful and clear but there isn’t much to …

Curacao from Emily – Day 2
Hello All! As you probably all saw from Bill’s post, we arrived in Curacao yesterday after a very long travel day. We were up by 2:45am and because of delays we didn’t have time to get either breakfast or lunch. We were starved and exhausted by the time we got to the hotel. We did …
Last Day
I’m finishing up my last day in Costa Rica. I’ll get breakfast in the university dining center in the morning, then head to the airport at 8am. My flight is supposed to leave about 2:20pm, and hopefully there won’t be any problems. My brother’s flight was delayed for hours and it took him almost 24 …
Spanish All Day
Well, I survived my first day at TEC! I did 7 hours today of intense Spanish, mostly about engineering and computer science. These would have been complicated conversations in English since I don’t know that much about the metaverse or semi-conductors, but they were especially challenging in Spanish. Even people here who speak really good …
Costa Rica Technological University
Yesterday was our last full day in Manuel Antonio, and essentially, my last day on vacation. We all took the day kind of easy. I swam a lot in the pool where I met a lovely family from Barcelona and a young couple from Los Angeles. She was an ER surgeon and he was a …
Nauyaca Waterfall Hike
Hello All: I did a super fun waterfall hike yesterday and this time, there was a professional photographer so I have some good pictures. It took about an hour to get to the Nauyaca Waterfall. It’s not close to anything, and the last part of our trip was in an open trailer pulled by a …
Whale Watching
I had a very fun morning whale watching. Unfortunately, I only saw the fin of a whale in the distance. In two weeks, there will be hundreds of humpback whales here, but right now, there are only a few. But, there were a number of super cute spotted dolphins and it was a beautiful day …
Manuel Antonio
Hello All: I’m currently back in Costa Rica for the next few days. Bill wasn’t able to come with me this time because he didn’t have time off work. We will be somewhere in January. Since Bill is not here, the pictures probably won’t be as good. He’s our picture taker. I am here with …
Free Diving
I found out late this evening that there is a free diving school right down the street from our apartment. I’m super disappointed that I didn’t know this sooner. I would love to take a free diving class. Apparently, you can get certified in free diving. If we come back to Roatan, I’ll definitely add …
Snorkel Day
Hello All: Above is the only picture I have. Last night we ate at a place with vegan food. They had falafels, which I love, but the best thing about this restaurant was the mural on the wall. I’m pretty sure it was spray painted. It’s definitely not something I would put on my wall, …
