Starfruit tree in the backyard, always popping off.
Starfruit snack. Also good for making fresco (juice/water/sugar).
Limón tree, which is the Costa Rican version of lime and/or lemon, grows here year round here too. It's a little bit more acidic/tart, but it does the trick.
Avocado in the tree in our front yard...getting bigger...we had so many we had to give them away...and they're all huge!
View of the coast on the way from Cabuya to Montezuma, a beautiful shoreline with beaches scattered among big black rocks.
School in Montezuma where I teach (beachfront).
Typical Iguana hanging out in the schoolyard.
Playa Montezuma.
House in Delicias where I stay part time.
There are 3 different types of mango trees in the yard in Delicias...these are the big ones, super yummy!
Papayas too!
This is green noni.
This is ripe noni. Good for you, but oh so stinky!
My little friend Maria in Delicias, age 2, calls me "Ah-me."
Hummingbirds!!!
Typical cow/bull sighting on the road near Cobano; sometimes they are seriously just standing in the middle of the road!
Playa Santa Teresa.
Trinity and I having a beach day with the quad. There are tons of fun beach spots to explore and the quad is such a fun way to see it all…lovin it!

The kitchen.
The stove (with Gallo Pinto in the fry pan).
The kitchen is open air, love this view…
The washing machine and cleaning area. The washer doesn't have a rinse cycle so you do that part by hand. There is a spinning dryer which gets rid of a good bit of the water, then you put everything out back on the line to dry.
Living room & TV.
