Lodging in CR

If you find your way to CR, like dogs, prefer non-traditional lodging and enjoy getting off the beaten path, I strongly recommend staying at the Lighthouse in Atenas. Pictures do not do justice. Frances and Bruce welcome you as family. For me, it's a great way to completely unwind. See more at their Airbnb page.

December Rains

December in CR is not supposed to be the rain season but, so far, it's rained at least a part of every day since I got here.  It hasn't interfered with things and, of course, complaining about the rain while on vacation in a place like this should fall on deaf ears.  This first week is all about doing nothing anyway.  Today was a trip into town, a workout at the gym, casados for lunch (it's a CR staple lunch of rice, beans, salad, sometimes a plantain, and either chicken, fish or beef - all for about $4 including some kind of fruit drink), reading in the park, a beer at the sports bar, then back to the Lighthouse for a nap.  One of the many things I love about staying with Frances, Bruce and the dogs is the invitation to feel at home which includes a favorite pastime - cooking.
