Just returned home from a week in Costa Rica.
The wife was there on business (for a couple of days in San Jose), but the kids and I went down on vacation.
When the time came to leave... I was sad.
No phones, no cell phones, no pagers, no internet, no distractions at all...
What a beautiful place... beautiful scenery, people, beaches, waves, mountains... all in all, a beautiful place.
We stayed in Jaco at a place called "Balcon del Mar"... Balcony by the Sea.
Our apartment / hotel over-looked the surf break.
We would get up early and go for walks down the beach and play in the surf & sand.
Then at 7:30am we would have breakfast while over-looking the beach.
One morning we got to watch monkeys play in the trees next to were we were sitting.
The kids spent many hours surfing the inside break (2 - 3 foot) of some fairly powerful waves (6 - 10 foot consistently).
We spent a day horse back riding through the mountains and rain forest... breath taking.
I have many pics and videos from the trip... feel free to check them out on my web site:

There are a few mis-guided thumbnails that I will fix in the next couple of days.
...Pura Vida...
It was nice to remove the things that do not matter from our lives for a brief amount of time... it helps put things into the proper perspective.
If things work out with my wife's Ehthanol Plant... we will be moving there in about a year and a half.
