Night Views from our Bedroom







In these shots I am playing with different apertures and how long I leave the shutter open.
We have a fire works show every evening. I am hoping I can catch a few stills from the show with the same background.


Spanish Classes

Chittering outside my bedroom window is the rufous naped wren and I have to go downstairs and start my Spanish lesson. I am lost and Brian is excelling and I want to kick him.

Jaco Day Trip

Now that we have condensed the 11 hour drive to the beach down to 1 hour we are able to make day trips!
We took the drive to Jaco this past weekend. We had a lovely day of sun and surf. One of the things I enjoy about the beaches here is that we are able to rent two chairs and umbrella for the day for $15. I also like that people come to your chair and ask you if you would like food or drinks.
We ate lunch at a beach side restaurant. Brian had a whole fried fish (not battered) just flash fried and served with veggies. I had a nice piece of mahi mahi with fresh steamed veggies.

This was the view from our table.

Bath Time


This friendly critter was awaiting bath time with Brian.

Manuel Antonio Trip Part 2

I said I would post more Manuel Antonio details and pictures but I got busy. So I am now finally able to share them.
We visited a butterfly garden and were visited by monkeys at the Si Como No resort where we were staying.
