Merry Christmas, from the Jungle!!

Hey

Caption from my journal Dec.12, after breakfast, yoga, and brunch, went hiking and swimming with another couple staying at Finca Bella Vista. As we were getting out of the swim hole Katlin noticed a slough hanging from a branch. We all stood amazed for about an hour. Hopefully the pics will be emailed to me and I'll post here. While hiking along we also spooked some peccaries, which I think I was more spooked then them.

Week One

Well I've been here a week, some high lites. It has rained every day and every nite, some times an hour at a time. I have learned to cook a little differently. Have been eating a lot of fresh stuff from the garden on site. Starting to settle in a bit.

Week's gone by

The past six weeks have been filled with visiting family. I've helped with solar installation, painting, moving piping for horse corals and installing a new stove at my bro's house. A car in my life is history. It is now time to continue the adventure and move on to Costa Rica. Looking forward to getting to my Cabina in the rain forest.

Re-purpose

The art of re-purpose is in the eye of the beholder!!

Passive solar H20 heater and panel hook up

Helping Dad repair a passive solar water heater and hooking up recently added solar panels. There were a few problems. However with the help of the neighbor, it was figured out.

Another Year

Well another year has gone by for me. Looking forward to starting a new life in retirement the end of this month. It has suddenly become more real, that I'll really miss my family when I move to Costa Rica. Hopefully I can get more of them set up with Skype before I leave. I'll be observing different flora and fauna, will miss the blue jays dive bombing the squirrels in the back yard, and the simple bike ride to work every day waving to neighbors on the ride.
