We’re going dancing

Wednesday, September 6th, 2006

Sylvia has arranged for us to go dancing after this evening’s event. Salsa, Merengue, all in true Costa Rican style. Our destination is  “Bar Castro” in the area called “Barrio Mexico”, a local bar that’s a five minute taxi ride…

Photos from last night’s meal

Meeting for drinks this evening

Simone and I said we´d arrange a meet up for drinks at the main conference hotel (Barcelo?).

Puerto Limon to Puerto Viejo… Panama cancelled!

We swam in the ocean about 7am this morning - the beaches at Tortuguero  have fabulous waves that crash in every direction. You can be 3 meters out and be up to your waist yet still feel really immersed! This Carribean sea is quite different to the Pacific side - calmer, warmer and quite a […]

San Jose… to Tortuguero… via…

Wednesday, August 30th, 2006

My wife Andrea and I have been visiting Costa Rica for the last couple of weeks prior to visiting the conference… as others are going to be in the area I thought it might be good to help others to know some things worth seeing.
We landed in San Jose. Our first day was a day […]
