What are we doing in Costa Rica?

… To Puerto Viejo! I have some photos that need sharing.

First of all, here’s Charla the spider. She lived at the top of the stairs for our last two weeks or so. Graham was very fond of her.

Next up, this stick bug was the biggest we — or our hosts — had ever seen. It crawled across the living room floor one morning, up the door frame, and then hung out until we went to bed. In the morning it had vanished. 

And finally, here’s a visual of why we were desperate to leave early. Happily, he is healing.

The good news is, we love Monteverde! There is a ton of fun stuff to do with the kids, the cool mountain air feels really good, and nothing is trying to eat us!

The bad news is, some food-borne parasite has been making a mosh pit in Elizabeth’s guts, so we’re house-bound until they move their party elsewhere.
