Photos for Updates.

Ahhh. Yes. Pictures. I DO have some of these, though teh rate of picture takng has dropped dramatically since January.
Nonetheless, here are some from the past...oh, 2 months.
TIKAL! Tikal was beautiful and majestic and hidden and jungle-ous and simply wonderful. Hot and muggy, but wonderful. Pictures seemed like a lame way to capture this place, but we tried. It was HUGE.
For a few weeks, Sarah and I found our blond counter parts, Justine and Liz, who we managed to find or drag to 3 different countries. Here we are playing banana plantations unsuccessfully looking for the beach.


Like Sarah said...there seems to be no way to capture Bocas del Toro and Mondo Taitu, but this was Sarah and me promoting for the upside down, inside out and backwards party, hence the shoes on the head.

80s power hour at Mondo. Few other places can you go to where this is acceptable dress.

this week we had the pleasure of sharign our time in Central America with Jessica and Meredith!! While their time here was short, and I have to keep looking at my pics to ensure that it was reality, it was such a blessing to have them here and SOOOO fun. We bussed to remote national parks and walked to waterfalls, and swam in the Pacific, and bronzed ourselves, while being happy to be together.

As our time comes to a close, i am feeling ready, but simultaneously wishing i could stay longer. Am trying to soak in these last fwe days of sun and rain forest before flying back to the good ole US of A.

PURA VIDA.

do we really have a blog??

heyyyy everyone!
so we know its been a while, and that kaia joye is coming home sooner than either of us would like to imagine, but we know by now that a blog update is probably way overdue...
Today finds us in Dominical on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica, basking in the sun/simply appreciating being a real person after being rather sick for a couple of days. BUT sun´s up and so are we and Dominical´s a fun little surf town with lots of Semana Santa-ers and crazy waves and funny surfers. Jessica and Meredith just left an hour ago... crazy how fast their time went by!! We spent a few nights in Uvita (BEAUTIFUl coast town just south of here... "costa rica before the booming building orgy") and then a few days here in Dominical. Pretty laid back ¨spring break¨ for all... we were super excited for them to be here and had a great time.
Bocas was a little too much to describe in a blog entry-- let´s just say it was crazy, we met lots of really fun people, the owners of Mondo Taitu are amazing people, the vibe was great, the beaches were beautiful, and we had enough good times to last us for a while. There´s a chance one or two of us might end up back there for a spell.. but I guess we´ll have to wait and see.
For now we´re just enjoying Costa Rica while it lasts... only about a week left here for the two of us together!! Its hard to believe that two and a half months is nearing its end... we´ve done so much and seen so many things and met so many people... I don´t want it to end! But soon enough you´ll be able to talk to Kaia Joye as a real person in real life or on real telephones and that will be wonderful. As for me April is an open book so we´ll just see what happens!!
Coming right up.... get excited(!) for some sweet pics, courtesy of KJ--
