I am currently listening to some salsa music, fantasizing about dancing straight into the New Year!  Of course in this fantasy I can actually do the salsa!  Wouldn’t that be lovely? The music is inspiring and I think it is motivating me to think about my New Year’s resolutions!  Now, I have never been one to [...]

Did I mention that I attempted surfing for the first time while the Turner’s were down.  Now I know that everyone enjoys a good laugh so I thought I would post some pictures of it! Here are Matt and I getting out there.  I remember staring at that huge wave forming and thinking to myself, [...]

I must admit it was a little strange to spend Christmas on the beach, but I really enjoyed this Christmas!  Of course our family and friends were sorely  missed but it was fun to make our own little Christmas this year! Christmas Eve we were invited to our neighbours house for a party, which was [...]

One of the first adventures we went on when the Turner’s were down was the “Estuary Tour.”  This is a tour of the fresh/saltwater mixed river that separates Tamarindo and Playa Grande.  Now every time I take a water taxi the drivers of the boats are always giving me information about the tours.  One guy in particular [...]

I literally cannot believe that Christmas is two days away.  For those of you that don’t know, I grew up in Canada and Christmas means snow (well on a good Christmas anyways), winter coats, turkey dinners (my mom makes the BEST) and family.  Well, this year I have none of those things, except of course [...]

I have decided that a week is just not long enough, it seemed like my in-laws just arrived and a moment later we were hugging goodbye!  And although the time flew by, I enjoyed every minute of their stay.  We went on an estuary tour, enjoyed the beach, watched a giant leather back sea turtle lay her [...]

All I can say is YUM!  I have been LOVING guacamole and I make it at least 3 times a week.  The avocados here are incredible and there is nothing better than guacamole with some corn chips. Now, while I am eating my delicious guacamole, enjoying the day I decide to take the girls in the pool. [...]

We had an absolutely fabulous day at the beach the other day.  The sun was shining and the girls were in delightful moods!  Now there is one picture I really like, as I was trying to take a picture of Thelma, Margo starts clapping her hands sending mud water everywhere but it somehow turned out [...]

Let me tell you that mail is an exciting thing!  Even if its for Margo!  Whoo hoo! I went into Tamarindo the other day because my Mom had mentioned she sent a letter over three weeks ago.  I stopped in the post office to inquire, but with the language barrier I was not to sure I [...]

Well, when you decide to move to another country leaving almost everything behind you will find that you have to get a little creative.  Here are some examples: Well, there is no high chair in this furnished apartment so here is what I have come up with.  Of course, she must be fully supervised at [...]
