Casa de Sophie - our home for a month
If you have time to spare .... go by air! We were supposed to leave Halifax on January 31st at 1pm, but the high winds caused our flight to be cancelled. We were delayed until Feb 2nd at 6:30 am, but had a great flight to San Jose, arriving at 1 pm. Bob and Francine also had their flights cancelled from Ottawa and they arrived the night before us and picked us up at the airport. We got to our house late afternoon, only one day late.
We flew directly down the US Eastern shore. This is Key West Florida.

Eric and I went for a walk and found these little friends
Bananas from our back yard. Delicious!
On our first full day we drove south to Parrita, which was only about 20 minutes and poled around town. we stopped at one of the many fruit stands and loaded up on all the delicious local fruits. We ate lunch at one of the many outdoor restaurants .... delicious fresh fish dishes and really good prices.
Waiting for our meal. A lovely hot day, with cool ocean breeze.
On Monday, we headed north for the day, past Jaco to Carara National Park. We hired a private tour guide for 2 1/2 hours to take us through one of the trails. we were interested in birds and any anything else! Our guide Arnando, had little secret places to take us and we saw some wonderful sights. It is not a full rainforest, but a transitional forest.
Ghost Bat
Boa Constricter
Many beautiful flowers
Always an interesting butterfly
Royal Flycatcher. A HUGE sighting. People come to this park just to find this bird and can spends days waiting to see it.
Once again on our way home we stopped at another roadside restaurant and enjoyed more fish beside the ocean. A wonderful day in a wonderful place.
Andrea and Dave arrive tomorrow, they also got delayed and had to change their flights. We spent the morning at the beach and are now nursing sunburns.
I will post photos of our house and the beach on me next blog. Love to everyone .......
