Martin en Brenda

Voor Nederlands naar beneden scrollen We are back home after our 2 week trip to Holland and Las Vegas, Holland was cold and rushed, was great to see everyone even though there were quite a few short visits. We lost 2 days on trying to get everything ready to get Martin's drivers license in order. We thought Costa Rica was bad, but Holland loves paperwork as well! After 7 days we left for Las Vegas to go to the DEMA show (dive show) We had a great show, loads of seminars, learned a lot and met a lot of new people. Always good for business :) Back home things did not run so smooth. Just before we left we had a group of about 100 divers and we were all exhausted. Our Dutch friends referred to ... read more

Here we are again, I know everyone is anxious for me to tell you something about our life, but some days it seems so normal and regular until I realize it is not regular and everyday in Costa Rica is different from any day in Holland. Living with so many animals around my house (some people call it a zoo) is not normal, it is special and I enjoy it every day. I discovered a new place, Melissa is here to visit and we had tried a new canopy tour. This one is not as good as the one we normally use, but it has a monkey sanctuary. (for sure they will see me more often!) It is a place where they keep monkeys that were used as pets and set aside. So cute...............The spider monkey ... read more

Wow, August was a busy month, that's why it took so long for a blog. Let me start with the 1st of August. The day we opened a new shop i n Playa Hermosa. Kiki is back from Holland and now trying to get the shop running. Then we started another IDC and had loads of fun and laughter but also study time. This time there were only guys.

Vandaag waren we vroeg thuis en hebben lekker een filmpje gekeken. Om half 6 is Martin de honden gaan lopen. Ik kijk hoe hij met de boobers de heuvel af loopt richting strand, ongeloofelijk hoe groot de pups worden, het gaat echt hard. Ik zet de sproeier aan en ga de tuin water geven. De zon is langzaam aan het verdwijnen en als ik richting de zee kijk geniet ik van de rode gloed die van de boten af straalt. Het is echt een super avond. Het regen seizoen is in aantocht en het brengt rare dagen. Gisteren was het de hele dag bewolkt, een verademing na 39 graden. Vandaag was het wel weer erg warm, maar nu is het heerlijk. Links en rechts hoor ik het gebrul van de apen, ik kijk om me heen ... read more
