Costa Rica... Let's see, I tried to leave the first time in 2004, but I came back. Then I lived in Nicaragua and in Honduras, and of course, after both, returned to Costa Rica. I then visited the Dominican Republic to see about moving there, but it wasn't Costa Rica. This last time was a record for me. I left for a few months and traveled to the British Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, Florida and fulfilled a dream to cross the Atlantic Ocean on a boat and visited Bermuda, Spain, France and Italy... but you guessed it, I came back to Costa Rica, just for a visit.... I left once more saying I will come back next year in 2008 and after only 4 weeks away from Costa Rica, I again decided to move back.
Now here I am, in Costa Rica and I am staying!! It seems inevitable that this is the place for me...
I have been very fortunate to meet some marine biologists from the University of Costa Rica and be involved in their research on the coral reefs of the area. Unfortunately in September many of the corals bleached and were not able to recover. The

Early this week I also saw a giant Leatherback sea turtle spalshing around on the surface with a male Green sea turtle. One fo the most amazing and strangest things I have ever seen!scientists have been making numerous trips to the area in hopes to learn the extent of the damage and the cause. I lam so happy to be able to combine my passion for diving, science and conservation!
Happy New Year to everyone!
