I had a pretty fun day, but I’m wiped out tired tonight! My favorite author has a new book out, so I read for a while this morning after breakfast. This restaurant has really good gallo pinto and pancakes! At 11am, I got a massage on the yoga deck near the thermal pools. The massage …

Heliconias Nature Inn
The clouds finally cleared yesterday and I got a good shot of the Arenal Volcano. The clouds had been so heavy that I didn’t realize how close I was. I sent this picture to my brother and told him this was my work trip. He’s in Ohio. He gets to do quite a few fun …
Universidad Technologico de Costa Rica
Hello All: I’m back in Costa Rica for a couple of weeks to visit the Universidad Technologico de Costa Rica. So far, my trip has been a bit challenging. The university made a lot of last minute changes to the work they want me to do, so things have been very unorganized for months, and …
Last Full Day
Well it’s time to wrap up this vacation! Probably just the right amount of time for being here. Emily got to do a lot of snorkeling and I did a lot of diving. I did 5 dives for my class, 8 regular and a night dive. I don’t know if I will do that many …
Snorkeling with Octopus!
The internet here dies every evening, so I’m getting my post done earlier today. We just finished a half day snorkeling trip, that was so so. We really wanted to swim in a location with starfish where we have been before, but our boat captain didn’t let us get out there. Not sure why. I …
Last Three for this Vacation!
Today was my last dive day, I had a morning dive that wasn’t too bad. We did some time around 80 feet but there wasn’t much going on. The DM keeps the dives 50+ minutes, the afternoon dive should have probably been just under 50. I think we may have turned a little late. We …
Three More in the Book
I did three more dives today, Emily joined the boat to go snorkeling for the first two then took some free time on dry land in the afternoon. The water was a little cloudy, there’s a lot of wind here but Emily thinks it’s windier this year. The wind churns some stuff up and may …
Diving with Fred
Hello!! Vacation is going well. We are keeping busy in the water like normal. I have 8 dives done, 5 more scheduled and I am waiting on enough people to do a night dive in the next couple of days. I’m done diving Wednesday, we will probably snorkel on Thursday. I need an off day …
Snorkeling
We had a super fun day of snorkeling! My free diving skills are really helping, so I’m very excited that I decided to take that class. I’m still on the fence about getting some fins and a weight belt. I’ll probably see if Splash Inn will loan me a pair of fins tomorrow. Bill’s dive …
Free Diving Certification
It took me an extra day, but I passed my free diving class today. Yesterday was a little rough. It was windy and the water was choppy when we went out to do the free diving class. I did several pretty successful dives, but toward the end of class, I started to feel sea sick. …
