Living well in Tamarindo, Costa Rica: Travel, Land Cruisers, Gardening, Food, and Jewelry: Catching up

Catching up

The last week or so has been hectic and fun. Steve's parents came to visit and we had a great time with them. Highlights included laughing our butts off when Caly decided to take on a coconut that was bigger than she is. I guess you had to be there, but it was pretty funny! Steve also got to take a ride in a client's jet, there are some pictures below. And Bb got an ice cream making machine for her birthday. Haven't used it yet, but we are looking forward to giving it a spin (ouch, bad pun).


Flamingo and Potrero Bay	the Four Seasons	Langosta Beach. The estuary there is where Cali does most of her swimming	Cows in the road, just another good reason to be late around here

Cooking up some chicken on the bbq	Rest stop, Steve and Bb style. Just a break to stretch our legs and empty the puppy	We didn't think she would be able to carry this coconut, let alone play fetch with it for 15 minutes. Go Calypso!	A little visitor we had on the steps. About the size of a matchbox.

2004 70 series pickup truck. Diesel, of course. Factory lockers. Five speed. Auto-lock hubs with manual override, coil springs up front. Steve is really looking forward to when we can justify buying one.	Tourists+Beer+Less-than-ideal roads= Rental Car in Ditch. The guys involved were very grateful when Steve pulled them out	Bb and Caly strolling in Playa Hermosa	Playa Hermosa. Pretty views, calm water, very mellow. Good place to go if you want to sit around, doing nothing. Or fish, which is pretty much sitting around doing nothing, with occasional bursts of doing a little bit
