In Costa Rica

Ola! Having a great week...quite the adventure here for sure. Very hot as well. Kids are taking a siesta while I'm here in an Internet cafe finding out what's happening in the world since there's no phone, no TV, no cell phone coverage where we are. Staying in Samara (Northern Pacific region of Costa Rica). No windsurfing to speak of around here....winds are offshore and no rental equipment. We're a 4 hour drive from Lake Arenal and there's no way the family can withstand that drive back and forth on those bumpy roads. So I'm learning to surf this week, as is my 9 year daughter. Here is a picture of yours truly doing ok out there....nothing fancy. I'm such a kook! Here's also a bonus picture of one of our neighbors (tree in our backyard). Full report after we return. Adios....
