Tamarindo


Dustin and I went to Tamarindo yesterday for a fun filled day at the beach! We went surfing after lunch; with the sun shining down and the waves rolling in we tried our best. I wasn't too successful because I wasted all my energy fighting the current on my little board. But Dustin on the other hand, stood up for the first time and road the waves all the way in! He's a rock star!
Next, we set up the Volleyball court only to have the high tide wash away our lines. So we went surfing again and played volleyball until the sun went down. We ate a surf and turf dinner on the beach, while watching the remains of a brilliant sunset, highlighted by huge lightening bolts every 15 seconds. Dinner was followed with my favorite Expresso Martini at a client's restaurant and then a bit later we visited an art gallery to see an art show of a local photographer that takes nanked pictures. The show was nice and we chatted with some friends, drank some wine and then called it a night!

Wireless Internet



This is an exciting day for us down here, we now have wireless at our apartment...life just got much easier here in paradise! This means no more hitching down to the restaurant only to find that you've payed for an over priced Hambergesa but the internet is down AND no more excuses for not updating our dear friends and family of each move we make!
As for today, I'm headed to Yoga class and Dustin has a English class in Brasilito. Afterward we're headed to Tamirindo for a day at the beach...volleyball, soccer and surfing!

Beautiful Sunsets



Dustin and I are doing better than ever, each day my love for him grows stronger and stronger. Life here is great; more and more its looking like we will be here for at least one more year.
My massage practice at the gym is going well and I’ve been asked to teach Yoga as well!!!!!! I have to save some money for the certification but I hope to be instructing by next season ( the “season” is Dec-April when the Gringos are escaping the winter cold). I’m also starting up a wellness center with other healers in the area. At the moment we have a Chiropractor, Acupuncturist, and myself. Next month I will be offering facials, wraps and scrums and I’m researching how to sell vitamins, herbs and supplements at the center as well!
Dustin is teaching and most recently has gotten a job in a real estate office! He’s yet to sell is first property but the market here is wild, actually the hottest market on the planet….its just a matter of time. Most importantly, Dustin has been practicing with a professional futbol team and the team is competing for a spot in the first division league! The first game of the “Grand Final” was last Sunday and Dustin’s team won 3-2! The team and Dustin are headed to San Carlos, North of San Jose, this weekend for the final game. Unfortunately I have a wedding party coming to The Sugar Beach Hotel so I won‘t be joining him! The next season starts in August and he hopes to be playing in the games. It’s a dream come true for him!
We are truly living out our dreams and as scary and uncertain as that is, the joy and fulfillment we have each day, is a true blessing! We both love and miss each of you with all our hearts!
