It’s Wednesday. There isn’t much news, but I’ll share what little there is with you. It shouldn’t take long! Yesterday things started happening here that we’ve been waiting for. For starters, the pest control people came by … and sprayed outdoors and in the garage, because it’s ant season here. I locked […]

Pretty Costa Rican Moth (image above) The only “close encounter” I’ve had over the past few days with Costa Rican wildlife was with a gorgeous moth that visited my porch. I was doing my walking routine on the back patio yesterday morning and spotted it on a column. It stayed there, unmoving, for well over

Exito! QAPLA! Success! I got it! Jon and Francisco met me at Mercado Municipal across the street from Huracan shortly after nine this morning to drive me to Alajuela to claim the elusive, long-sought-after anti-gravity chair that I’ve been wanting for several months. Francisco only rode one way with us. He remained in
