Morning Walk

One of our objectives of coming to Costa Rica was to restore our health.  That may be curious to some wondering how Costa Rica is a "health" trip but for us, it's perfect!  

1) We eat less because food is not right next door.
2) It's beautifully balmy here (75-80 degrees on average), reasonably humid so you sweat a bit more.  3) We drink tons of water (tap water here is great!).
4) We start the day with a 2 mile morning walk.
5) No stress, no rush hour traffic, no need to keep up with the Joneses.


Combine all that with the fact that we eat very little red meat here and a lot more fruit (watermelon, bananas, Mango, Pineapple, Papaya etc).

To us, this is heaven.

The picture is a little hazy but it shows a pig we passed on our walk.  After all the big talk above, I must admit that the whole time I was taking this picture, I was thinking of pork chops and ham sandwiches.

All in all, it is wonderful here.  No noise, fresh air, ocean views, horseback riding (yet to come) and a pool.  We have not been this happy for a long, long time and the only thing missing that could make this trip any more perfect is to be able to share it with our kids.  Hopefully we can get a few of them out here.  It changes your perspectives on life in so many ways!
