merry christmas

Wednesday, December 26th, 2007

it was certainly a wet christmas but today, after a 5 day streak of constant rain, the horizon is clear. for the first time since i arrived i can see the mountains on the mainland. yay!!! regardless, it was a lovely christmas. debbie, dustin and rita made it here and we’ve been having lots (!) of good times.

today i suspect we’ll get in some beach-time and soak up all the sun we can. the rain did give me an opportunity to upload some pics so i have a few i can post. things take a long time to upload so i’m trying to be choosy. i haven’t really focused on photography much so far. i enjoy “people” photography most and up to now my travels have been nature-oriented. i’m a terrible landscape/nature photographer.

i got word that my family received their presents from me on christmas eve. i gave an assortment of pigs, goats, rabbits, etc from Heifer International. hope everyone had a merry christmas and that santa was good to you! i got everything what i wanted – including a sunny day!!!

punta uva heaven

Monday, December 24th, 2007
Puerto viejo doesn’t look too bad, but my mission there was to get a few groceries to tide me over when grub wasn’t to be found in punta uva. This isn’t a problem when one has transportation (rental car, ... [Continue reading this entry]
