To Good Friends & Mother Nature

Time just seems to fly by here.  It's amazing that we have only been here for 3 weeks and I already feel like this is home.  We have met wonderful people whom have taken us in as family.  There is a very tight network of friends here and you feel like they would do anything for you.  I can only hope that when Alex and I retire we can come across such amazing people like the ones we have met.

Here we are at our house with our 2 sets of neighbors, Dave & Linda and Carl & Mary.  We invited them over a few nights ago for spaghetti.

Last Sunday at our weekly outing for pizza at Rana Azul, we spotted a three toed sloth walking on the ground.  Dave picked it right up and gave the kids a close up view of the cute little guy.

Yesterday, Dave & Linda invited us over for a walk around their property.  They own 30 acres of beautifully maintained jungle and cacao trees of which they make into their famous Cerruti chocolate.  The kids had a blast romping around in the jungle, catching frogs and picking flowers with Linda.

There are so many beautiful plants and flowers in the tropics.  I could mozy around all day in awe of nature has created.

This place has so many wonderful things to offer... from good friends & new adventures to the amazing beauty mother nature.  It makes me appreciate the little everyday things that we so often take for granted.
