Meanwhile some more news from Atenas more generally. The weather here is magical (sorry friends in the Northeast and Midwest!). Each morning it starts out around 70 and warms to the low 80s. It's sunny but with a nice breeze that is to die for. In the evenings it cools, so we are down to roughly 65 or so -- just cool enough to take the sting out of the air. This is the dry season, so we don't expect to see any real rain while we are here.
The house we are staying in is, likewise, a wonderful place. It is actually three buildings, linked together. First there is the master bedroom and bathroom with its own balcony. The master bath has both a shower and a sitting tub (that we haven't tried yet) and a nice couch to lounge on.
The middle building -- accessed by a covered walk way -- is
the main house -- a large great room with dining area and kitchen and sitting area to hang out in.But the star of the main area is the wrap around porch. One side, facing south, looks out over the protected nature preserve valley [that's it behind NatsGnome]. The other side, facing west, has a small pool in it and, best of all, a hammock covered by a shade vine -- perfect for lounging. There is also an outdoor dining table where Paul is working each day and where Katy and Paul are dining in the evening.
Finally, add a small guest cottage with a bedroom and an outdoor shower. A bit small but comfy -- and who wants to stay indoors anyway.
We'll have more later on life in Costa Rica. For now we are living the Pura Vida.
