We've been back home for a week, and things have returned back to normal. Rosie is back at school, Tim is so happy to be back at work :(And Sage is back on the bed.Last evening, we went skating on the Rideau Canal (the world's largest skating rink) and faced wind, cold and frostbite to accomplish 6 kms! We tagged along with the Edwards Family, our great neighbours on Greyrock. Afterwards, we

Hi there - we went to La Paz waterfalls park on Wednesday morning. It is the most beautiful natural park I've ever visited. Brimming with butterflies, hummingbirds and tiny creatures, the park is carved out on a mountain side.After the tour, we headed straight to the airport and began our long trek back home. What an airport in San José. Packed with people, heightened security measures, long

Bonjour tout le monde -- voici donc notre dernier message avant de partir. A 10 h 30, Susan passe nous ramasser en voiture pour nous amener au quai, et de là, un bateau nous attend pour nous conduire au port de Golfito. Une fois arrivée, nous prenons un taxi pour l'aéroport qui n'est vraiment pas un aéroport mais une piste d'atterrissage. Il suffit seulement de montrer notre numéro de réservation

Dernière journée dans la région fut marquée par une belle plongée dans la Gulfo Dulce...tout près du sanctuaire des animaux. Nous avons vu quatre raies, plein de poissons, trois serpents de mer venimeux ainsi que toutes sortes de beaux coquillages que nous allons ramener à Ottawa.En après-midi, Dienna est venue nous faire les ongles. Ensuite, après avons regardé le beacu coucher du soleil, sommes

While we were eating, the squirrel monkeys (tici)were playing in the trees across the street. On the way home we saw the biggest lizard we have seen to date. His body was about 4 feet long and the tail another 2 feet. We also saw today ( Sunday ) a

FrancineNow you may ask yourself, what does this picture (left) have anything to do with the Casey-Filion holiday in Costa Rica.Plenty.Look at it closely. Note the pointed edges of the barbwire fence within the seat. A work of art, non?It's what adorns the fancy Italian restaurant Macondo's bathroom and this is what patrons admire close-up at some point during the course of the evening. Don't

TimToday the girls went back to the animal sanctuary to see the monkeys again so I took my longest walk yet on the beach. After half an hour I came to the conclusion that I was too far away and that without water I should turn around and return. It was only 9 am but already it was blazing hot.I did see some nice houses, there is only 1 north american style with windows, the rest are Costa Rican

Yesterday we woke up and got prepared because we thought we were going to the animal sanctuary . Then Susan comes and tells its cancelled because of some reason, I don’t know. I was a little sad. So she tells us … did you want to go to Pavones cause I can tell the cab

Hi there - there was a last minute change in our plans on Tuesday. Instead of going to the animal sanctuary, we headed to Pavones by taxi. Took an hour for 10 miles. The road is incredible and off-roadish, made for a Jeep. How I miss my old Jeep to treck around in these backwoods of the jungle. Once there, the tide was low and the waves were virtually non-existent. As recommended by Susan, we

Hi there: Tomorrow Rosie and Francine are going back to the animal sanctuary. Tim will stay behind to watch the tide. Stay tuned for some interesting shots. On Thursday, we're heading to Pavones, which apparently is a haven for surfer dudes. We'll be checking that beach out. Tuesday night is Mardi Gras and as mentionned before, Lorie and Rick at Sol Y Mar are holding a Louisiana theme event.....

Hier, dimanche, nous sommes allés nous baigner dans la mer et en raison de la pluie torrentielle la nuit précédente, la clarité n’était pas à son meilleur. Alors je n’ai pas pu voir mes petits poissons favoris me chatouiller les chevilles.Tous les matins,

RosieHey guys ,Today we went to the Animal Sanctuary at 8 am. Suzanne did not come . Then we took a 50 min ride on the boat to get there. When we got there, a bunch of Macaws came as if they were greeting us . Then the tour guides welcomed us. One of the owners came out with a peroqueet on his shoulder and on the other , a 6 month monkey with a diaper on . Very very cute ! Then they explained

We went this morning on a boat tour up the river that empites into the ocean here in Playa Zancundo.We stated off with a quick look at the frigate birds, who feed on the fish that feed off the small fish on top of the water. Then Susan ( our guide and landlord) explained the different types of trees in the mangrove swamp.We proceeded up the river where we saw lots of

TimToday we started our snorkelling early when the water was a bit calmer. We found lots of little shells and kept them in my pocket. I also tried to fish again and actually had a fish on for one brief jump. The fish was s skinny silver fish that our neighbour, Sylvain, said was probably a mackerel. He says there are 3 or 4 types of and only one is good to eat .After lunch I took a bicycle

FrancineLast night, after writing in the blog, we had our very first hard rain fall. Torrential rain. I thought at first that someone had dropped a whole bag of stones or ice on the roof. The house has a tin roof. What a sound. It rained for quite a while, which is good for keeping the dust down on the sandy road. Today, we didn’t do much except for hanging around the beach, swimming in the ocean

RosalyneHey guys - today was an exciting day. First, we woke up and went swimming in the ocean. Then, we cleaned the house, and did some laundry. Then Dad and I did some Math homework. Then, mom and I went swimming again in the ocean. This time, we saw a barracuda jumping out of the water to catch a fish that was trying to fly away from him. Cool. In the afternoon, when we were swimming again,

( Finally fixed the pix problems -- we're back in business!)TimToday was our biggest excursion yet. Up at 5a.m. we were on the boat by 6 for a 40 minute boat ride across the channel to Port Jimminez. There we and 2 other tourists squeezed into a taxi for a half hour ride to a trail along the coast. We saw spider and howler monkeys as well as macaws. We also hiked up a semi dried out river bed

Two of Susan’s staff took us by speed boat along with a couple from Maine, a man from Ohio and a couple from Toronto. At 8 a.m. sharp, we were picked up in an old beat up jeep (with Vermont plates inside) and driven to the dock area. Then after some quick introductions, off we went for a super boat ride, past

Hi,Things were rather exiting here at first after you had departed, but once my butt had been sniffed and the order of seniority established, I was getting along famously with everyone. :-)Then we finally all went out side, and I took off on turbo boost after Turbo who had a big stick in his mouth. You should have seen me after an hour, my tongue was hanging out a mile, and I must have drunk a

Hi folks - sorry for the inconvenience but our dates are not in sync in this blog. I can't seem to be able to figure out how to move an entry from one date to an earlier date...but I will. So please bear with us, as we post our stuff. Tomorrow and thereafter, our blog entries will be accurate. Just the Jan. 29th and 30th entries are not where they should be.Bonjour - nous sommes désolés de vous

In San Jose - La Rose de AmericanaWe had a good breakfast of fruits and toast and cake at the hotel and then left right away with the private tour guide we had hired for $60 to take us to see the volcano near San Juan.It was quite an interesting ride up very curvy roads where he passed at will on the left hand side. We never did see the volcano as the clouds had settled in.On the way back the

Quelle chaleur! Ce matin, un petit chat siamois nous attendait sur notre deck. Il semblait en très bonne santé, merci. Mais un peu perdu. Les animaux ici se promènent librement. Les chiens se ressemblent toutes et tous (peut-être qu’ils sont tous parentés - voir film « Delivrance » !).Aujourd’hui, ce fut tellement chaud puisque nos corps ne sont pas habitués à de telle chaleur.C’est même

January 29th departureAll went well on the way down . Quick flight to Toronto and then 5.5 hours of nicotine deficient airtime until we landed in San Jose. We then took a quick cab ride to the hotel. It was very clean and had beautiful grounds. Large palm and banana trees and lots of birds flying overhead and occasionally stopping to drink form the pool.All the houses and hotels have gates which

Petit avion, taxi régulier, taxi d’eau, camion et enfin nous voici. Il y a eu un incident à l’aéroport juste avant notre départ, ce qui a retardé notre envolée.

As the mercury drops dramatically here in the National Capital of Canada, our excitement rises with the anticipation of our departure to Costa Rica. On Jan. 29th, we fly out to San José where we will stay one night before heading out to Golfito by air. There, a water taxi will await to bring us to our final destination in Playa Zancudo, a lovely home on the beach (loscocos.com).We have started
