Costa Rica is beautiful.<\/p>\n<p>Our place is very nice \u2013 near a small community and the Ocean. The view from our upstairs patio looks out over the jungle with the mountains in the background. We have seen some monkeys, amazing lizards (smaller ones) and birds already that we think were tucans . We haven\u2019t been in the pool yet because we needed groceries and with the traveling thing yesterday just unpacking and getting food was as much as we wanted to do. We also got the Internet working which is surprisingly good, so you can skype us and we will actually be able to hold a conversation.<\/p>\n<p>This is an amazing house with lots of room&#8230;we could put up a baseball team. We are not in \u201cparty-ville\u201d that is 20 minutes away but the scenery is awesome it is sooooo quiet I had to ask Margaret to whisper so the neighbors wouldn\u2019t hear&#8230;&#8230;so far so good.<\/p>\n<p>The weather has been really nice and they tell us it is just going to get better \u2013 how that is possible I don\u2019t know.<\/p>\n<p>We have had some really good (and hot \u2013 spicy) food. Eleanor (the owner of the house) took us to a restaurant where the Ticos eat and the food was amazing for about $5.00\/ person.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-2938 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/paulweigel.com\/photoblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSCF20601.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"112\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/paulweigel.com\/photoblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSCF20601-112x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/paulweigel.com\/photoblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSCF20601-112x150.jpg 112w, https:\/\/paulweigel.com\/photoblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSCF20601-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/paulweigel.com\/photoblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSCF20601.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 112px) 100vw, 112px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/paulweigel.com\/photoblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/costa-Rica-Map.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"112\" src=\"https:\/\/paulweigel.com\/photoblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/costa-Rica-Map-150x112.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-2943\" srcset=\"https:\/\/paulweigel.com\/photoblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/costa-Rica-Map-150x112.jpg 150w, https:\/\/paulweigel.com\/photoblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/costa-Rica-Map.jpg 259w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-2943'>\n\t\t\t\tWe are about 20 minutes from Jaco (haco)\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/paulweigel.com\/photoblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSCF2050.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"112\" src=\"https:\/\/paulweigel.com\/photoblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSCF2050-150x112.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/paulweigel.com\/photoblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSCF2050-150x112.jpg 150w, https:\/\/paulweigel.com\/photoblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSCF2050-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/paulweigel.com\/photoblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSCF2050.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/paulweigel.com\/photoblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSCF2059.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"112\" src=\"https:\/\/paulweigel.com\/photoblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSCF2059-150x112.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/paulweigel.com\/photoblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSCF2059-150x112.jpg 150w, https:\/\/paulweigel.com\/photoblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSCF2059-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/paulweigel.com\/photoblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSCF2059.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/paulweigel.com\/photoblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSCF2053.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"112\" src=\"https:\/\/paulweigel.com\/photoblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSCF2053-150x112.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/paulweigel.com\/photoblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSCF2053-150x112.jpg 150w, https:\/\/paulweigel.com\/photoblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSCF2053-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/paulweigel.com\/photoblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSCF2053.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/paulweigel.com\/photoblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSCF2054.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"112\" src=\"https:\/\/paulweigel.com\/photoblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSCF2054-150x112.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-2950\" srcset=\"https:\/\/paulweigel.com\/photoblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSCF2054-150x112.jpg 150w, https:\/\/paulweigel.com\/photoblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSCF2054-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/paulweigel.com\/photoblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSCF2054.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-2950'>\n\t\t\t\tIt&#8217;s a jungle out there &#8211;
