This morning there is a lovely clear blue sky, but the first “aguacero” of the year has fallen. There was a sudden dark gray sky, a low rumble of some far away thunder, the smell we had been waiting for for months, and finally that sound of strongly pouring rain. I have always related walks in the ...
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.
We had the first nighttime rain in quite a while. It's amazing how with just a few showers green starts popping up from the ground, in twigs and tree branches. Soon the golden mountains will be all green again.
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 ...
Walking around town at night is quite magic. After certain time it is all calm and quiet, with warm lights on the streets and a few lights still on inside houses. Normally skies are full of stars, unless as these nights, the moon is so bright you can see perfectly well even in the trails and at the ...
Easter Egg hunt beach style! Hundreds of eggs at the Beach and along Paseo del Mar. It’s one of my favourite days in town, along with the TRI and Halloween. Such an anticipated hunt, specially for the the kids that live here and those coming every year... They sure help the Easter Bunny keep ...
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 ...
