Today

Today has been a really full, really fun day. Swimming, Condovac, swimming, zipping, lunch at Coco on the beach, delicious food, meeting an awesome (and handsome) "fisherman", buying the fisherman a beer, listening to Norah Jones in the warm sun, playing in the sand, jumping with the waves, meeting awesome Canadian expats (with 3 kiddos and lots of toys), shopping, more shopping, swimming, photos, sunning, playing, dinner with our dear amigos (typico Costa Rican), relaxing, making fun of each other, peeing our pants from laughing so hard.....























It was a fun and busy day. I feel full, sunkissed and blessed. I can't believe we say goodbye to Auntie M tomorrow. It seems like this week has gone by so quickly. But, pura vida. We'll be back in the snow before long!

Perro

Perro. Dog.

Dogs roam free during the day here and then they slowly find their way back home at night. It's really crazy to think about. My pups couldn't survive like that. We see dogs everywhere. Sleeping in the street, running on the beach, meandering through the stores... just living their lives peacefully. Most are very people-friendly and peaceful. I've only seen one dog even bark.


This dog is named Gunto.. at least I think that's what the server said. I thought he said Punta but he cracked up at that. Gunto, Goontwo, something like that. He was the sweetest. calmed little guy. A small Phin. Daredevil took off and walked right up to him, touching his index finger to his nose. Gunto did nothing, just observed. I half expected him to lick his finger, that or bite it. He was the cutest. I would've brought him home if I could.



All these dogs are so sweet, but I'm increasingly yearning to pet them, feed them, snuggle them... I'm getting homesick for my three guys back home. I'm already getting anxious to snuggle them and smell them when I get home. I miss their soft fur and stinky breath. Things only a mom could love.

Another scorpion tonight along with a small fox thing out back. I'm still not so confident with all these new varieties of critters.

Pool Playtime

My baby loves the water. Please pay attention to Carlos sunbathing with us in many of these photos. I thought you needed a few cute pictures of my boy. I've been lacking on those lately.












One week!

Joya de la Montania

Our house has a name. Joya de la Montania. Jewel of the Mountain. It's lovely. Come and see for yourself...

So maybe I should've taken pictures as soon as Yvette was done cleaning or waited until we picked up before bed but I wanted the daylight and I was just glad I remembered to take some pictures at all. Just please overlook our messes.

We feel really blessed to get to live here for a month. We love our home away from home.
