Here Come the Visitors!

And, also more heat…I keep hearing. <sigh>

Tomorrow, we get our first visitors! We are either spending part of the day or just having breakfast with our friends Mitch and Curt tomorrow. I think they are driving through on their way to an exercise-themed vacation (yes, I guess that is a thing) south of here somewhere. I’m not exactly sure, but we’ll get more details tomorrow. We are super excited to see familiar faces and reminders of home. The plan is to have breakfast at Breaking Bread, my fave, then who knows what. I just can’t wait.

Next week, we are going to the Rio Celeste area to hike the waterfall and go tubing. Then, when we get back, Sam’s best friend Wyatt and his family are going to stay in our condo building for three days. It will be great to see them and I am super excited for Sam to get to see his buddy and show him our little world here in Tamarindo.

At the end of the month, Mimi, Josiah, Staci and my darling nieces Sloan and Selma are coming. They rented a great place only a block away. We love walking by their place and pointing out where they will be. We are enjoying thinking of fun things to do with them, places where we will eat and are excited that there is a bar that makes great Pisco Sours located between us. They are wavering due to the Coronavirus scare, but I deeply hope they will still come. There is no Coronavirus anywhere in Central America, so really it’s safer here. Everyone should come!

In April, during the boy’s two week long Spring Break, we are going to Bocas del Toro, Panama…a place I have been cyber stalking for years. We are going to take a few days to drive back across Costa Rica from the Caribbean side. Then, at the end of May, our friends Christine, Deek and Carver are coming for a week. We are going to spend half the time here in Tamarindo and half near the Arenal Volcano for some white water rafting and soaking in the hot springs. That is going to be a blast.

I told Matt and the boys that time is going to start going by fast. We will be BUSY…at least compared to the languid pace our lives have assumed. We are really ridiculously excited to some familiar faces, to feel some connections to home. So, if anyone out there is thinking about coming…please do. I promise we will greet you with excitement and enthusiasm!
