As expected, Jake and the crew at PVR put on a great event yesterday. The weather was nearly perfect. Competitors did have some chop and a few pretty big waves coming in. The start of our family race was pretty comical, watching everyone trying to get out past the breakers. The horn went off right ...
This period we are enjoying now, right before summer begins is one of the best times of year here. The Sunsets are getting more amazing by the day, and the mornings are crisp and blue. After the sun went down last night, it was 75 degrees with on shore winds. Dinner at Limonada was perfect. The ...
Next time you come through, a visit to the wood shop can be arranged. The team there is doing all of the windows, doors, cabinetry, and much of the furniture for the projects at Las Catalinas. They were also kind enough to do the awards for tomorrow's race! We are starting to see competitors show ...
Very excited to announce the ground breaking of #23 Calle Cartagena! Castillo Arquitectos and D'Aqui Interior Design have teamed up on this beautiful addition to this section of Beach Town. This is a very special street, walking down it will be something to enjoy for many decades to come.
Paddle Battle this Saturday! I went to get a coffee at PVR today and saw the Sweet Waterwear Jerseys made it in. These are arguably the most comfortable shirt ever made. They are soft, non restrictive, and do not have a seam on the shoulder. An excellent choice by the PVR crew for the giveaway. See ...
With the addition of another full time resident, the child population of Las Catalinas is quickly growing! School bus service has started to the La Paz Community School from Plaza Central.
Our version of spring are days like today. We see calm seas and a clear blue sky. Summer is on the way! After some months of rain, we get glimpses of days like this and get excited.
Not the most recent shot, but this is a fun look at the progress of town from the sky. This is a photo from back in June, so it is ancient in Las Catalinas terms.
It is very difficult these days to get good information or recommendations on travel. I find that we rely so much on our personal network of friends and colleagues to get ideas on where to go, and what to do when we get there. We really appreciate those that are "in the know" and up to date.
Move in date for our new neighbors at 3 Calle la Ronda is tomorrow! In preparation, we began to open up the passageway between 3 Calle la Ronda and 5 Calle la Ronda. This photo was taken of the lower portion of the connection. The stairs are covered in plastic so the walls on both sides can be ...
Last night was beautiful. We had a group head out for our Thursday Night bike ride, and we caught one of the best sunsets I have seen in a while. There was just enough cloud cover to get the warm colors across the sky. Next time you are here on a Thursday, I do hope you join the group!
I did not really know about bioluminescent algae or plankton until I made it to Costa Rica. It tends to show up here pretty frequently. Two nights ago, it was reported that loads of it were on Dantita. We went over last night and were not disappointed. No matter how many times you see the stuff, it ...
Coming down the hill in to Beach Town last night, it was so great to see the Plaza Carlota Flats with lights on. I did not get a good photo to share, but will work on that one!
Happy Halloween! We ended up with about 150 trick or treaters at our house on Saturday. My favorite costume was a toddler with a storm trooper mask, and a floral print shirt. He was Tropical Storm Nate.
The sun has made it's way back out this morning. During the morning rounds, I saw some of the house moms putting little potted plants out to take some sun. They certainly got enough rain this month!
Those who woke up early this morning were richly rewarded with near perfect weather. We had a fitness class going, which was attended by a lot of the residents and home owners.
