The dirt road to Where?? South Nicoya Pennisula

Even though Tamarindo is the closest thing to a luxury vacation we have come across lately it also has the expensive prices to go with it. So one day was enough plus we want to keep heading south along the coast of the Nicoya Peninsula stopping at several beaches along the way. Over breakfast we...

My Birthday. Sailing and Sushi

Happy Birthday to me! This morning I slept in as much as I could…I think till about 8:30 am. Then laid in the hammock on our patio slowly swinging back and forth reading a new book until Ryan woke up a little later. We had coffee and a sweet juicy mango for breakfast. After taking our time...

Leaving Nicaragua on to the next Adventures

At the end of a long day here we are sitting watching the warm orange-yellow glow of the sunset as it burns out behind a rocky coastal mountain in the one place we vowed not to go to on this trip Tamarindo, Costa Rica. But here we are in the so called “Americanized super expensive vacation...

Well so much for a slow holiday weekend. Jeesh! We get into these beautiful places at night, so you dont see anything till you wake up the next day. I know we came in over the water last night, but the coast line is not like the US with lights and houses all lined up and lighting it for us. ...

Yesterday was our second day couch surfing. Marlon had to spend the day studying so while he was cramming we took care of a few errands in the city before leaving to Nicaragua. We headed back into San Jose to pay for my school, did laundry and went to the super Mercado (grocery store) to buy...

Our first Couch Surfing Experience

We left San Jose this morning before breakfast and headed to Escazu to meet up with the guy Ryan might get work from and to take Flip Flop to the veterinarian.

Gearing up for the next adventures

Not much going on the last few days just been hanging out in San Jose, but I thought I would give a brief update. Besides reading a lot and walking around the city what we really have been doing is trying to “litter box train” Flip Flop. Since she is going to be a traveling cat and live in the...

Shitty, Kitty, Shit

Last night we left Flip Flop in the van since we could not take her in the hostel with us (with food and water and cool temperatures). We checked on her several times before bed. She was so cute sleeping on the dashboard. In the morning she was still there sleeping. Oooohhhh. But wait, not so...
