We just got back from Guanacaste, we spent Monday and Tuesday there. It’s one of the beach towns. A lot of people compare it to Hawaii.
We went to see the sea turtles lay eggs but I guess we were off by a week. But that’s okay, we had a lot of fun at [...]
You know when kids grab something dirty and gross you say “icky” and make a noise in the back of your through (like when you say Hanukkah). Peter has started taste testing EVERYTHING. But now when he finds something icky he makes the noise then sticks it in his mouth anyway. It’s [...]

After we saw the animals [...]

The day started early (4:30am). We had to meet up at a hotel with the group at 6:30.
The tour was 11-12 hours and it went to a coffee farm where we [...]
