A few photos.

I may have to diddle with these files if they slow my blog to a grinding halt... however... here are a few pix from Costa Rica (cuz you asked for it). I have LOTS more.

::cough::



It's beautiful. Lush. Green.


But best of all--the food was wonderful. This is a 'soda'.
We were adventurous in our eating.



I wonder why my shirt is on inside out?
I don't mind bugs. Obvi.
(actually I freaked out, but G wanted that picture)


The Author At Work.
I am soooo going back there someday. Pacuare River Lodge.
*note: no electricity/eco friendly.

Pacuare River Lodge
view from the hut bathroom into our LOVE nest
*Note the kids stayed in a separate hut.


How we got there/left there.
Yes. That's us. Fer rizzle. See Antonio?
I see Antonio.


Arenal Volcano over teh smimmin' pool.
FYI--there was actual lava at night. We were on the 'active' side of the volcano and could watch glowing hot boulders the size of CARS and BUSES roll down the mountain.
I was not afraid.


G took this picture. I call it--Why Monkeys Need Panties


The Kitchen at La Carolina
*note: another place with no electricity.

View from the hotel room in Tamarindo at sunset.
I was feeling so GREAT this last night in CR.
Surfing. Dude. I rocked it.




PS~Happy Birthday to Katiebabs, still the sweetest girl in bloglandia.

Aw thanks for the birthday wishes. Your fantasy island looks amazing! Hopefully it wasn't too hot and humid.

Hot and humid will come while we live it up in DC!

Lucky! I've always wanted to go to Costa Rica. Hey you should've taken me along. I could've translated. :P Glad you had a great time and survived the bug attack. :)

The pictures were absolutely beautiful.

Oh and btw, your shirt was on inside out because you didn't want the people of faerie to use glamours on you that day. Those Sidhe can be tricksy!

Beautiful pictures! The love hut looks very romantic. Sounds like the best of both worlds. Family fun and romantic get-away. I'm not jealous. Much. ;-)

Anywho. I'm WRITING! I swear. Nosetothegrindstone is the new name for my blog.

Lisa your pictures are beautiful! I love the place - reminds me of when I was in Costa Rica - just gorgeous with the lush greenery. I'm so glad you had a great time.
