Some photos!

It's taken awhile, but today I can finally try adding some photos to our blog.  Here goes:

First a couple pictures from our first days in San Jose. 

A very short doorway down the street from our hotel.

Swimming in the mini pool at our hotel.





The zoo was a short walk from our hotel.  Claire looks nervous about the caymen behind her.  Caleb's sporting his Manitoba farm-boy hat. 

Walking around at the zoo.



















Here are a few photos of our cabina and surroundings:

Our cabina!

The inside of our cabin.  We figure somebody liked the colour peach!  The owner (Mario) has put in some shelves for us, which has come in very handy. 
Fresh flowers the kids picked in our yard.
Our yard is great -- the kids enjoy the teeter-totter
Our gate.  Notice the bakery sign?  The cabin owner's wife sells baked treats to tourists on the weekends (she's been away since we got here, unfortunately.....)
Our picnic table, around the side of our cabin. 
I think that's it for now.  The kids are clambering to do something.  We have a dinner date tonight at a little restaurant down the road and they are excited b/c there's a puppy and a boy there who they've made friends with.

I'll post more photos of San Gerardo de Dota (it's beautiful!) and continue my description of "a typical day" soon.

  1. Wonderful!! We've been waiting patiently for pictures. Looks like a garden - very lush, lots of greenery all around. Must be nice to be there. What a backyard for the kids. Glad they are connecting and having a good time. We presume you walk everywhere - like to the supper place? Is the pace of life slower? Glad you can email and blog now from your cabina. Thanks. M&D

  2. Gorgeous! Love the strategic placement of the Maplelea dolls. That's worth $50 FOR SURE! :)
