Greetings from COSTA RICA

Yes.
I'm sitting here in a paradise!

On Monday we loaded on to a friends "bus" and we were dropped off at the airport for the long flight from Idaho Falls to Salt Lake to Los Angeles to Costa Rica.

We left Monday night at 6:30 and arrived in Costa Rica on Tuesday morning about 7:45 AM

It was a long day or should I say night, but it was all great.

We got a couple of rental cars and stopped at Walmart.

Yes, Walmart.

(we go clear to Costa Rica and go to Walmart????)

But it was an adventure as well.

We do it all wrong in the USA.
Black Friday....pashawww!
If you aren't doing Black Weekend you're just an amateur.

And the Walmart greeter had a gun.

We stopped on the way to see the Crocodiles.
Ugly little creatures.

We finally arrived about 4 hours later.
Even though distance-wise it was only about 55 miles.
Driving here is interesting.
And a little scary.

We are staying at a little....cottage????

 It is a beautiful home!
Wow!

 This is the view from the patio.
The pool looks like it goes right into the ocean.

 This is the view sitting in the living room.

 And I'm sitting on the patio.

 This is the view from the pool.
Notice Howie doing a little work on his laptop.
Grrrrrrrr.

I'm just amazed how gorgeous this house is.
If I stayed here all week long I would be in heaven.

But there are places to go and things to see!
We have plans for snorkeling, zip-lining and hiking.

I feel so incredibly blessed to be able to be here.
