Pathfinder

We did it! We did it! We did it!
We bought our 99 Nissan Pathfinder and we love her! After a little TLC she's up and running like a champ...
Over mountains, through rivers and along beaches!

San Jose

Last week Dustin and I went to San Jose to buy our car! After 3 long days of searching used car lots, we went looking for a great restaurant serving food that we can't find on the beach. Our favorite was Lebnon, a Lebanese joint with fabulous food and a fun atmosphere! We chose the sampler...24 dishes of every Middle Eastern cuisine you can imagine.
Everyone always asks what I miss besides family and friends and the anwer for both of us is MOVIE THEATERS. Every night we were in SJ we went to the mall and watched movies!!!!
I can't wait to go back to San Jose for more great food and movie theaters!

Monday

HI
Today our hard work in San Jose finally seems like it was worth it....after days of haggling used car salesman, en espanol, Dustin and I are proud owners of a Costa Rican Nissan Pathfinder...pictures to follow once it arrives on Friday :)
As for myself, I've gone and caused myself to get sick from the stress and dirt of the busy city. But now we're home and its back to work tomorrow...the healthy life of yoga, exercise, massage and long walks on the beach at sunset!
This picture was taken in Arenal when Dustin and I went exploring for the creator near the Arenal volcano. The hike was amazing and absolutely tested my grip on keeping calm while drowning in fear of the unknown. This weekend we're going camping with a family in our apartment complex....we're headed to the "real costa rica" as they put it; wild animals, deserted beaches, cool rivers and real people living off the land. I can't imagine a better weekend:)
Love Kim

This morning, after a long night of fiestas, I feel like climbing a tree like this "big guy" and just chillin out! Yesterday we rented car and spent the afternoon swimming in Brazilito and watched an amazing sunset in Flamingo. The colors were outstanding because there was a huge thunder storm just hours before. The "Tico Carnival" came to Brazilito last night; covering the town with bullfighting, rodeos, cervesa, music and tons of dancing...Kyle was loving every moment. Of course we had to take advantage of our rented car so we headed to Tamarindo for an all night dance party. We met up with some friends, drank too much Guaro and Jager and ended up skinny dipping in the ocean around two! A fabulous night as always, but as I said:
Today...I'm going to find my tree and relax :)

Domingo

The weekend in review was pretty relaxing but exciting at the same time. Our Saturday morning was spent watching futbol at home and after a quick workout Dustin and I met up at the Mariner Inn for the Brazil game...what a disappointment. During the game Kyle was sailing on a sunset cruise because THATS WHAT HE DOES! Yeup, that’s right, Kyle came down for a visit and one week later he's got a job sailing on our buddy's catamaran! His days are filled serving fruit cocktails, chatting it up with beautiful people and learning how to sail! Dustin and I are both thrilled Kyle has chosen to explore our beautiful country!
Sunday we all chilled by the pool and played some cards and such! Pura Vida
