We have arrived at our home for the next 2 weeks. It was actually quite an enjoyable 4 hour journey, Our driver was very friendly and helpful, the kids were great and the scenery was exactly what I hoped for.
We made a few stops along the way, espresso, crocodiles and lunch in an old airplane that crashed on the side of a mountain and now has a restaurant built in and around it. Blake entertained most of the restaurant singing "Santa Claus is coming to Costa Rica".
Our villa is good, the space is great but the kitchen is not equipped at all. We are cutting apples with a butter knife and drinking milk out of a mug. Our trip to the grocery store was dissapointing - the produce was moldy except for the apples from Washington, the cereals were a dentists nightmare (except for good old cheerios) and the brand name for their bread says it all "Bimbo".

So exciting to get news of you without the old fashioned delays! Now I can live vicariously in style!
ReplyDeleteI suspect Camille and Amber go to an outdoor market for food? Perhaps you've got that sourced out by now.
And ahh... not much of a writer my eye! These posts are awesome!
Love and best wishes,
