WOW! I had no idea people were still reading our travel blog. I was looking at the stats from our website and found several people had come from here. A quick check of the stats on this site shows people are indeed reading my posts even though I haven't posted here since July. It just goes to show you people are interested in Costa Rica. Thank-you to those who find and read my site. We haven't done much traveling as Callista has been in school. We've mostly done day trips I didn't think anyone would be interested in. School will be out in another month and we're starting to plan some trips. One trip definately on the schedule is a return to Mt. Chirripo. I'm debating on whether or not to go. Stay tuned to see ... read more

October 5 I´m sitting in the internet cafe adjacent the land developer´s office who I just made a deal with to purchase 3 ocean view lots about 40 minutes from the airport. One of the lots is actually for Jurgen, but if he doesn´t pay me for it within a year, I´ll keep it. Too bad the internet cafe in Atenas where I´m staying isn´t as nice as this one. Anyway, here´s a website that shows the property and the views from the lots. The lots I bought are L9, L2 (for Jurgen), and S9. www.butterflydance.co.cr I hope to be on a plane and flying back to NH on Wednesday (if all the paperwork is done). Like I said, the lots will be in three different corporations, and we need to have a local attorney do ... read more

The International Baptist Church hosted a Family Camp. The camp was held at La Montana Christian camp facility. http://www.lamontana.org/ We had driven past this facility on our way to La Fortuna back in March. We noticed La Montana because we had stopped for brunch at a soda located across the street from the camp. This facility was designed to reach out to the youth of Costa Rica. The grounds consist of a pond for swimming, walking trails, archery range, soccer field, a couple of rivers, volleyball court, high ropes, and a mud obstacle course. In addition there is a recreation building which houses a small store, skating rink, rock climbing and ping pong. An additional pond with rope swings, slides and bike ramps were under construction. The camp was to begin Friday at 6pm and end ... read more

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 in the world, you still need that seperation! We lucked out this go around and none of your guests were too dramatic unlike others in recent history. We have had nothing out of the ordinary ... read more
