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.

Another rainy day...

I heard from two people today in town that they only remember one rainy December in their lifetimes.  they can now make it two.  I'm not complaining at all.  It was a good day to get a massage, and spend the afternoon quietly reading and writing.

Here are some photos of the Alto del Monte neighborhood (Atenas photos either tomorrow or the next day).  This is a mountain ridge area 5 miles up from the town of Atenas.  The hillsides have lots of coffee.  Other than Bruce and France's place, and one other, it's a "Tico" neighborhood (meaning Costa Ricans, as opposed to Gringos, which are people from the US, Europe or Australia.  It's a quiet and friendly neighborhood.
