Have you ever sat near a busy, open kitchen and overheard the back-of-house team and wondered what the heck they were talking about? One of the more prominent voices you may here is that of the expeditor. This person monitors the scheduling and quality of the dishes, such as the appropriate ...
The Camino Catalinas building is starting quickly take shape. Walking past you can see the european style half round copper rain gutters. The shape of this rain gutter allows for optimal water flow, leaving behind less leaves and debris. The back lip prevents overflow and locks the gutter into ...
I guess we have to give in every once in a while and go full on throwback Thursday. This is just two years ago. Steady progress since then, each making town better. Excited to think of where we will be at in two more years.
I look up at Casa Chameleon from the beach sometimes and have to start singing;
We are excited to announce the ground breaking of #5 Calle Cartagena. This is a two bedroom, three bath home at the intersection of Calle Cartagena and Puente San Miguel. This is the first of three adjacent homes designed by Costa Rican architect Lucas Rivera.
For those riders to know, we have Ruta Central Descent back open. This was closed for a few weeks as we start work on a parking lot. This parking lot will be be available to those coming to Las Catalinas and enjoying the new Mercado area of town. All of this is under construction now. Very exciting ...

We enjoyed a very special inauguration of Plaza Carlota today. The plaza honors one of Charles' children, who was here with family and friends for the ceremony. It was a special moment for everyone involved, which we will remember for many years to come.
Things are really simple during sunset on the beach. They just are. We had a pot luck dinner there last night. The wind kept blowing over the water to our perch by Paseo del Mar. The cool breezes were heavy, it was the salt which was weighing them down, the wind sort of stuck to your skin. Loads of ...
Today, it is all about the perfect weather. We have enjoyed cooling onshore breezes blowing all day. The temperature is in the upper 80s, and the air is very dry. We have some knee high waves falling, and the water temperature is near perfect. On top of all that, we have flowers blooming throughout ...
It was nearly a year ago to the date that we celebrated the opening of beautiful Plaza Lucia. This plaza will become the classic single tree plaza of Beach Town. It is exciting to imagine her canopy providing shade in the day and filtering the moon rays in the evening. Thursday we enjoyed a small ...
Our colleague Julio took a few great pictures this morning on his way through Town. The tall tree with the yellow flowers is the Cortez Amarillo. During the dry season, these trees drop their leaves and then we get treated for a special week when the flower. These bright yellow trumpet flowers last ...
We had a blast at Circus Night. Most all of the kids in Town made it down to watch the show. The parents that were not watching, enjoyed having their own conversations and a few cocktails while the kids were occupied. Everyone wins.
Busy busy days in Limonada. For the lunch service, Chef has put up a pop up shop with Arroz con Pollo. One of my favorites for this time of year. He has also had some specials out each evening in the restaurant and live music. Very fun to see such a lively scene and folks walking around town after ...
I am always excited to share the little passageways that open up when the construction screens go down. This is a set of stairs at the south end of Plaza Central, which connects the plaza to Calle la Ronda. We did not have time to get them completed before the crew took some well earned time off, ...
Calle Cartagena #17 is the last available home on this section of town. It is perfectly suited for a family looking to relocate to Costa Rica, and can be completed for the start of the school year.
