Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica

In San Jose for a month for intensive Spanish classes at CRLA. 5 hours a day for 5 days a week for 4 weeks and at a home stay with a Spanish only speaking family. The school is great and the family is wonderful, but the weather, not so much. Escaped the bustle of the city to the Carribean coast of Puerto Viejo to find the sun.

Here is it! :)


and here's the moon... if you look closely.


We rented bikes and rode the 12 KM along the coast to find beached for swimming, sunning, and snorkeling. Along the way, we heard a terrible noise and looked up to find it was monkeys in the trees.


A random reminder of home...

Even the dogs have fun here.


As they say in Costa Rica, "La Pura Vida."

A brief pause before heading back to the city to learn more Espanol and to try to not get hit by a car...
