The real Costa Rica.

The culture, country, and everything that comprises this wonderful country has a draw of peacefulness unlike any I have experience. Maybe its because when I find myself there, I don't bring home or work life with me. I was thrilled and surprised to have another chance to visit and enjoy being close the the equator. A true escape.

It doesn't get much sweeter to get out of the country for the money. Friends ask me about it, and are often surprised as to how easy and cheap is it to get there and stay there. The key to success is planning ahead.

Water Time

X_mas break! Back in Central and loving it. Blessed to have the opportunity and the time. Thanks Ed for picking up this great shot of me enjoying the beautiful off shore sets the roll in every morning.Chest high at sunrise in 78 degree water is a great way to start the day. We were lucky to have great weather. I'm a big fan of the long board, its like a Catalac rolling down hill. Once it gets going in the right direction all you need to do is guide it and hand on and enjoy the scenery.
