Saturday I love making breakfast. Which I suppose is a good thing, since I find myself making a lot of it when we have guests. And I’ve really gotten into a nice rhythm when cooking. Now, even when I have multiple people to prepare food for, I get it done without trouble. Unlike the first […]
Saturday Perhaps one of the best surprises about life in Costa Rica is how rich our social life is. The other day I counted, and our neighbor/friend count was already over 20. It’s remarkable! And tonight, we, and a dozen or so other friends are invited to a party hosted by pals Hank and Marie. […]
Saturday Our Austin friends, Mike and Lisa, were still here and after learning about the dengue outbreak on the southern portion of the peninsula, we opted to take a travel day and head north instead. Samara was our destination, with a few notable spots to check out in between. As many of you might already […]
So many people have asked so many questions – which isn’t at all surprising. Two people, years away from retirement age, with a flourishing business in one of the hottest, booming US cities, pack up and move to Costa Rica for a year. That’s bound to cause some head-scratching. In an effort to answer most […]
Saturday Up early and filled with anticipation today as I prepared to pick up my main squeeze, my partner-in-crime and the man who would half my daily workload. Super exciting! I made a coffee for the road and filled up a jar of my second favorite drink – half coconut water/half water – and set […]
Did you catch Week 1 of the Costa Rica Adventure? If not, you may want to pop over and give it a read, and then come back to see how Week 2 plays out. Saturday Up early today to enjoy a final cup of coffee with Gwen and Edmund as they looked around the place […]
First two days of the grand Costa Rica adventure: Flights were uneventful and getting through customs, etc. was a snap. Edmund (B&B owner) picked me up at the airport, then we had a three hour drive to the B&B. Conversation was easy. We stopped at a grocery to pick up some things, so I got […]
The Place: Thai Fresh The Cup: An Americano for Todd, and I opted for plain old drip this time around. The Background: My pal Albert met Todd recently and started chatting with him about Todd’s newest project, the Go Hunt Life podcast, where Todd interviews people who have pulled the ripcord on the “normal” adult life and have instead opted for the […]
UPDATE: In response to the current events involving backlash against police officers, I was contacted by the APD officer I did my ride-along with and was asked to remove his photo and his name for fear that someone might target him or his family with information found here. He explained that he is a very private […]
The Place: Monkey Nest The Cup: A cup of coffee for me, and John enjoyed a drink he promised would rock my world. I had a taste and he was right! If you get the chance, order the Green Friend from Monkey Nest. It’s the right blend of yummy and healthy — assuming my philosophy is correct, […]
