Gourmet Feast!

Walked to the organic produce market this morning. Here are the fruits of my labor:

Ha! REALLY the fruits...Pretty psyched about the lychees (those are the spiky red things) they are so very yummy. Sort of like a pear, and much juicier than at home. Grabbed a little bag of granola with coconut and a "typical" coconut cookie. Typical is the word used to describe native CR cuisine. 

Yoga tomorrow morning at Tropico Latino. They teach hatha, which is supposed to be what Bikram is based on, I think, so we'll see how it goes. Other than that, not a lot planned. Trying to "de-wind" as we used to say when Al was little.

Happy thoughts and sweet dreams!

Heard a monkey, smelled a monkey, but haven't yet SEEN a monkey

Well, CR won their World Cup match against Greece in a shoot out. It was crazy at the Crossroads, people spilling into the streets, honking, singing, and waving flags. I never get into this stuff at home,, but it was pretty neat here.

No rain last night, but the lightning coming from the mainland was pretty spectacular. Must have been quite a storm there. Lazy day today. A little more sun yesterday than I planned for, so it looks like a t-shirt day to be safe. I think a walk to the organic produce market is in order, reading in the hammock, and some time in the pool or at the beach. Worked a bit this morning, and will again tonight. Pacing myself. Pura vida!

A friend came to visit me while on my patio.

Who doesn't love a beach vacation?

Back in Santa Teresa, CR...Yahoo! It's hot, sticky and fabulous. Almost broke down and used the AC, but glad I stuck it out. The sound of the surf with the breeze from the ceiling fans is perfect.

Currently at The Bakery for both coffee and the wifi. Both are awesome, which means two things: 1) the new kitchen needs an espresso machine, since I can't get the foamy top with the french press even though I use the same beans, and 2) I can get the work I need to finish up done...not today, though! Made it to one of my other favorite eateries, Las Piedras, for dinner last night. Yummy lomito.

Looks like a day of walking the beach, World Cup somewhere at 2:00 pm, and since that's the case, yoga gets postponed until tomorrow.  Ciao!
