The past 2 months have been very busy. But before I dive into this edition of my blog, I am going to clarify my CLARIFICATION entry. Why I wrote it! From the author! I have received some mixed feed back on this blog...see postings! To be honest I didn't write it to be mean or nasty! They, in their comments, made some valid points that I wanted to address and I as the author felt it was necessary to include theirs to give the piece foundation. In addition, it is a TRAVELBOG not a Political commentary and should be taken as [View Full Entry]

Hola, Como estas? I hope this finds you doing well? All is good here in Costa Rica. It is hard to believe that well over a year has past since I first arrived. I have learned a lot, seen a lot but have not explored as much as I would have liked! In addition, I got my first critical review…now I use that term loosely. After going off on me, they were kind enough to follow-up with an apology and explanation! Personally, I feel this was a bit much however I thought I would share the comment & apology and elaborate [View Full Entry]

Hola from Angel Valley! Sorry to have been out of touch. Genetics are a pain sometimes and it seems I have inherited procrastination from my parents and it is a toss up from which one. But in the end...it's all good! For the better part of 2 months, the end of June to the middle of August we had guests almost everyday, with the exception of one or two. This is good, however the one thing I would recommend to anyone thinking of opening a B & B is to have seperate living quarters! Even if your guests are the best [View Full Entry]

Well as always here in Angel Valley there is a short lull between guests. Since I have a week off I decided to do a bit of traveling. As always my first stop is San Jose. I always have fun with my friend Kurt and his entourage! Another reason I went was to help him with a private party he was hosting on Monday! He rented out his space to a group to watch the Ms. Universe Pageant. I have to tell you it was a trip observing all these guys and girls or should I say tico´s and tica´s [View Full Entry]

Hi all, Sorry I've been out of touch - 2 out of my 2 fans have chastised me for running late on my next entry so here goes! For this entry I thought I would share with you some of the flowers that are thrive on the Caribbean side - Haven't got names yet...but I will work on that! The end of March (Marzo) was busy. We had a group of 10 women rent the house for 2 weeks. This meant that Andrew and I had to vacate. Preceding their arrival, I cleaned and prepped for them. We made a [View Full Entry]

Perspective… Perspective is something I’m not sure I ever had! At my age, that is kind of hard to admit. But, with that, my time here in Costa Rica has opened my eyes to many things. Some of which I would have preferred to remain closed. When out of America…you learn a lot about America, more specifically the mentality of Americans. I recently had the opportunity to meet some amazing people. As luck would have it I made a new friend…for which I am most grateful. At a lunch I met Rob and he told of his work with the [View Full Entry]

A day in Los Angeles Sur! Central America Caribbean » Costa Rica » San Ramon By TravlinTerry March 28th 2007 Hi all, This brief is more about photo´s than text. A neighbor was trying to back down a steep, narrow driveway and well, as they say ¨3 pictures are worth 3,000 words¨! Fortunately all are okay...j [View Full Entry]

Hi All, I hope this finds you doing well. I am okay enough - it’s been an interesting new year. Hard to believe I’m going into my 4th month. Some interesting things have happened. Below is a picture of Costa Rican Triple A. One of our neighbors got off on the wrong side of the road (just below the B&B) and his car nearly tipped over. It took 6 of us (5 shown + me) to get him out. Costa Rica AAA (aka neighbors) It doesn’t look it, but the car was actually leaning enough that when Fernando got in - [View Full Entry]

Hi all - I trust that this finds you in preparation for a wonderful Christmas and New Years??? All is well enough here! As most of you know, Andrew, my friend who owns the B&B, was in the states for a month - So I basically had run of the place - which is something that I rather liked. Some things though are a pain - for instance our quasi long-term guests. Will call them S & R - They are in their early 70’s and get around great. R (husband) is intelligent and easy going - S (highest maintenance Buddhist)- [View Full Entry]

Hola from Angel Valley, Well I’ve been here for a few months now and it’s been good - the painting is winding down or I am - not sure which. We’ve had guests off an on…Last night was a full house, 9 guests total, 5 women celebrating a 50th birthday and 2 couples. The ladies were up till 10:15 and I was like - man this is late. I’ve only been up past 11 twice since I’ve been here and that was a stretch. So this morning I cooked breakfast for 11 people and was up at 5:15 prepping for a [View Full Entry]
