Ola! We arrived April 8th at the Liberia Airport and now reside in Playas Del Coco Costa Rica!

This took many months of planning, making connections via email, and my husband coming down in December to check out the school, Green Life Academy, meeting with realtors, lawyers, and introducing himself to the community in general. Getting the feel and the lay of the land. He was down here for 5 days, never having been out of the USA.

We choose this area primarily for the school for our girls who are 10 and 14. The small community feel with the locals and the expats also from the US and Cananda.

The cost of living was right in line also. I tele communicate, so I take my computer and hit the ground running with work.

We have now been here 4 days! Hot hot hot! Not going to lie! It is the end of their summer which is dry season, Guanacaste Province receives very little rain, if any during this season. The tourist season is wrapping up also. BIG Easter celebration coming this week. I would compare it to Labor Day Weekend in the States. The town fills up with families from San Jose for a week long celebration. Then things will quiet down. Looking forward to stepping in and watching all the action!

Cars are expensive down here, so we have been walking to get necessities. When it gets a bit too much, we can grab a cab for $2.00 and get a ride home. Getting a golf cart today, so we can get our major errands done! Whew...what a relief!

The people here are kind. The Expats are kind.

First earthquake yesterday! Registered 6.6 in Nicaragua! We are an hour away from the epi center.

Pura Vida!
