I am not one for sitting on the beach, at least, I didn’t use to be. Now it is my new thing. For now. In a month or so I hope to finally be back in the water, rebuilding my surf strength. But for now, here I sit, like a beached whale in so many …
Yesterday we packed up – again – and moved ourselves to Costa Rica’s capital, San Jose. We will be spending a month here while we wait for our baby to come. So now I am trading salt water and sunsets for the forested mountains of the central valley. When I think of Costa Rica, I …
