San Juan del Sur has a beautiful white sandy beach and clear, warm water. There are palm-thatched restaurants on the shoreline, while up above the little town there's 'Pelican Eyes' - a private resort with three infinity pools, with bars to match. After all our travels it was delightful to laze by one of the pools as the sun set, and then to ease down to the shore for lobster ceviche followed by g... Read Full Entry

Your wonderful trip notes make me "homesick" for glorious Costa Rica. And I'm dumbfounded at your adventuresome spirits--one simple zipline did it for me but you undertook the max--whew! Thanks, too, for the warning on the use of debit cards, and feliz viaje!

Onward and upward - or the reverse?
So sorry you had the nuisance of the debit card - so many canny crooks out there. Wasn't CR wonderful? I just know you walked the same bridges we did last year in the cloud forest- did you find the secret note I left you ??? Maybe that rascal monkey took it! We are off to Tucson next week - and won't like it one bit without you, Mare. Dianne has surgery on Tuesday so we will be visiting her in the hospital - probably can't take her any wine either - and not able to spend an evening with her unfortunately. She is eagerly following your blog. Love you both, Margy

Have you ever seen such gold gold???? Looked almost unreal to me, and with so much there almost as though the Gold Museum had manufactured their own artifacts!

Your travels
Hola Mary and Bob, Wow! I am greatly enjoying reading about your spectacular trip. What an interesting and exciting time you are having. Not sure if I'd have the courage for zip wires. The latest lot sounded particularly bowel watering - longer than 1km! Someone is having a laugh. The photographs are wonderful, too. Such beautiful scenery, wildlife and local art works. Sorry to hear about your card troubles. Crooks put small cameras in the tops of ATMs and film you putting in your PIN, which they then match up with your card details. To protect against that always cover your hand when putting in your PIN so that it can't be seen from above. (I learnt that when I did Jury Service in the summer. Not a total waste of 2 weeks.) I look forward to reading your next blog from Peru. Ursula
