It’s a brand new morning in this brand new world (to me). The sun is out already (at 6:46, and has been for just over an hour) and shining brightly. It’s supposed to reach 80 degrees today, so when I go into Grecia this morning to get a copy of the stamp inside my […]

I’m still pinching myself to make sure this is all real and not just some part of a wonderful dream that I never want to end. I’ve been here five days. Each one has been delightful and confirmational. I did my research exceptionally well. I couldn’t be happier. As mentioned earlier, there are several people

Today Topher Benum and I spent a little while this morning visiting the waterfalls that are 100 feet or so down a gulch from the hotel units where we’re staying and then enjoyed a second excursion to Grecia. We walked down to the falls first. On the way, I spotted a downed bee
Today (Sunday) Topher and I made one short outing to Mas por Menos (More For Less) so I could get additional practical necessities and colones. The wonderful Uber driver agreed to wait while we shopped so he could “regreso” (return) us to our point of origin, Villas Escondidas. I gave him a nice tip for

Topher Benum and I took Ubers to and from Grecia this morning and afternoon. I was able to get a CR SIM card and a portable CR phone number. For those who need it, the number is Country Code 506 6017 1951. I don’t think my US phone number works anymore, but who knows?

Costa Rica, day two… I am absolutely in love with my new world. Everyone I have met here, from the baggage porters to the driver to the Villas Escondidas owners and visitors, have been wonderful. I checked in after Laurie Barron welcomed me with open arms and a long hug, and spent

I have been outside with Charli most of the day until just about a half hour ago (1:30 pm Pacific Time), when it got too hot (82 degrees F) to do that since I’m presently on heat-sensitive antibiotics. Her vet appointment is this afternoon. I didn’t want to have to sequester her inside all

I’m concentrating on producing positive vibes for the rest of my time here. I want to leave the U.S. feeling wonderful about what comes next in Costa Rica. In just three weeks I will be in Costa Rica! Thursday, September 4th, will be my first full day there. I will be arriving

Lisa came over this morning and we got a lot done! First, we shopped at Winco and Costco. Then we came home (here to my place) and got into her shed to move what’s left in it to the other/larger shed so Jackie can park the lawnmower in the smaller one. After
