The food in Tamarindo is so good! But it can be a bit tricky to find the best places to eat if you are visiting for the first time. Friends give the best details, but Trip Advisor seems to be the place to go if you don’t have anyone to ask or anyone to ask who knows how to give… View Post
If you’ve ever visited Tamarindo, Costa Rica, you must have experienced the breathtaking view of the sun setting over the Pacific Ocean. Tamarindo sunsets have a flair for drama, washing everything with red and orange before quickly sinking on the horizon.

One of the only things to beware of in Tamarindo are the crocodiles by the river mouth. As you walk all the way north on the beach, you’ll come upon a river running into the bay where you can hop on a boat for an estuary tour or taxi to the less-touristy Playa Grande.

We’ve been home from Costa Rica for about a week now, and the water is finally starting to seep from my brain so I feel motivated to work again. My head has been so far in the clouds! Part of the reason why I haven’t finished any articles on my to-do list yet is that I know the first one… View Post

We took a direct Costa Rica flight into Liberia last Friday, and then drove to… View Post
Last weekend the beach was so crowded with Spring Breakers! It was cool to see so many people having such a good time out there, even if the shoreline did get really full. We had to drive foreeeeever to find a space we fit in, but luckily Chris has his cute little white-top FJ to 4×4 us wherever we need… View Post
Winter came gusting in on the first half of Aphex Twin’s set – the first time he performed in the US in 8 years.

Last Wednesday we took the day off and went down to Galveston for some long glassy longboard waves. A thick fog had rolled in overnight, so in the early morning you couldn’t see farther than a few feet in front of you. It was almost more like cloud surfing in Galveston. Slide. The beach is rarely so crowded this early,… View Post

At two years, we’re still a relatively new relationship navigating through both of our families’ Christmas timelines. It’s important to remember to take the time on Christmas to do something for ourselves. Last year we broke away to Surfside to try out the new… View Post
