This is what we purchased yesterday at the local Farmer's Market. All for less that $20.00 US Dollars....pretty amazing! The white package in front is homemade cheese. Does anyone remember Squeaky Cheese? Well...that is exactly what it is! Meat is pretty expensive down here, which is fine, a bit less protein is not going to hurt, more veggies and fruits! I am a bit disappointed in the Grocery Stores, they have a lot of prepacked food for sale, saying that, my adventure skills come in to find the local sellers, and harvest wild.

We spent our Saturday at the Beach. Sam and I went snorkeling and saw a Puffer Fish, Baby Stingrays, a school of yellow and black fish, I bet there was over 100 of them! Got a bit sunburned and ran to the market for Aloe Vera.....I will personally search it out as we get used to our surroundings, and pick it wild. You can actually cut it up, freeze it, use it for sunburns and eat it. Amazing plant.

Sleeping so hard at night, all of us. We have so much activity during the day that by 7:00pm we are wiped out. Taking it easy today, cooking, unpacking the rest of our things.....OH! And by the way....decreasing our life to 12 suitcases total???? We still have STUFF!!! UGH! I think it just multiplies by itself....LOL!

My challenge in all of this is the money exchange, from US Dollars to Colones......math is not my best subject.....going to the bank on Monday to make an exchange.....it seems that a person gets charged more when they are running around with US Dollars. ;-) Oh well...lesson learned....

I hope everyone like Hannah's post this morning...I left it AS IS....she was so excited.....

Pura Vida!
