When do you leave for Costa Rico?
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful and exciting opportunity to be in such a unique tropical country, to photograph all it's natural wonders. Maybe you'll meet a modern day Tarzan and Jane of the jungle LOL
I wonder if there are any banana plantations there. Let me know, eh?
We now have triple digit days. It's 108 degrees and you can fry an egg on the hood of my car ( if there weren't so many bird droppings on it, that is LOL )
So glad there's a big beautiful pool here.
Bet you all can't wait to go for a swim in Costa Rica...Enjoy everything you see and do and be safe! Love,
Corrine & Ted
Dear Erika and Costa Rica Chica's ... So far,it sounds wonderful...sloths and monkeys and alligators, oh my :-) I'll bet the beaches have white fine sand. I can almost see and feel it now.
ReplyDeleteWe have a cold snap here in Tucson. After days of 108, 9 and more degrees, today it's only 100. I guess I'll have to dig out my long johns.
What's the temp there? It must be hot as well.
And how's the food? Any different foods you haven't had in the states?
I look forward to reading more of all you've been doing and experiencing.
So how about it? What's new today?
Hugs and love,
G'mah Corrine & G' Pa Ted
So exciting....Erika...have a wonderful time...love. Selma and Norm
ReplyDeleteWell you will soon be back in the good old US of A dear Erika...And then maybe you will get and send email?
ReplyDeleteI'll bet you can each write a small book about your Costa Rico adventure. I would want to read it in a heartbeat :-)
Safe travels to all the Costa Rica Chica's and let's hear from you all very soon!
All our love,
