I’m tired of feeling like a newbie. After spending my entire life skiing, and watching the clueless tourists, it is my turn to find some serious humility and patience and accept the fact that I am going to look like a newbie until I’m not a newbie. 🙂 It hurts, in so many ways.Keep Reading!
I’m not going to try to pretend that there is any excuse to turn on a t.v. in Tamarindo one week in, HOWEVER, we have a t.v. here and the kids have needed a little downtime. We quickly found some old favorites, like Higglytown Heroes, Imagination Movers, Agent Oso and of course Mickey, on theKeep Reading!
We have been encouraging the kids to try something new every day, and of course I keep pushing for fish, since it is fresh, delish, local, healthy and could create a life long love. Since we arrived, I am happy to get fish into as many meals as I can – from fish tacos toKeep Reading!
We did a little “housekeeping” this morning, since we weren’t scheduled for anything. We rolled our suitcase of laundry down to the Backwash, which is the only laundromat in town. I separated it into three baskets and came back at noon to pick it up. It cost about thirty dollars and was folded when weKeep Reading!
Yesterday began with our first monkey sighting – actually 12 of them – in the tree above us during our morning yoga session. We have been hearing them in the morning from our room – (a surprisingly odd sound, more similar to a growling bear than I was expecting) – but hadn’t seen any beforeKeep Reading!
We are all a little more tired, sunburned and sore today but content after watching the sun go down from a hill above Playa Langosta. Surfing was great today. We have an amazing team working with us, and not only are we learning to stand up on a surf board, but also absorbing a tonKeep Reading!
I found out tonight that we are a “beta test” month long family surf camp experience. I am guessing that might explain the “I don’t know” answers for the last month or so. We still “don’t know,” because our experience will be a work in progress for all involved. We settled in at midnight lastKeep Reading!
Our new little “home” for the next month is perfect. It was very hot when we walked in and the lighting is awful, (Matt and I are admitted snobs about it), but other than that, it is everything we wanted and hoped for. The beds are slabs, we have a pet gecko and some yellowKeep Reading!
It was a long day yesterday, but everything was smooth! We arrived at the airport with plenty of time – kids were amazing on both legs. I had to set a good example, because I hate the “hurry up and wait” experience of traveling. All in all, it was sun up to sun down toKeep Reading!
As the blizzard continues outside and the kids snooze, (somebody is snoring), and our departure nears… I fold laundry and start another load… that’s right… laundry.Keep Reading!
I was with a friend yesterday who made me promise I would actually be a part of posting material to our family’s blog, so with one day to departure, I decided to take a break from packing and cleaning out the fridge. I’m guessing this will be the last time “snow” is a part ofKeep Reading!
