Our Costa Rica Life in Pictures

Almost everyone that visits Costa Rica wants to see a sloth.  Unless you visit an animal sanctuary, you can't be sure to see one.  But they do pop up along the road ways, in the roads, crawling along wires above the roads, hanging from trees, etc.  When we walk along the jungle trails through our village, I just know they are out there looking at me but I can't see them.    Here is a series of pics of John helping one little guy get across the road.  (It is highly unlikely you see sloths hit by cars, almost EVERYBODY stops to help sloths across the roads.)

John is getting brave; this day he decided just to pick up the sloth crossing the road.

 

 Here it appears John is playing with the little guy.

 

"Lets you and me go for a walk."

 

Safely across the road and now back on his merry way.

 

On a recent outing with friends, they took us to this is a beautiful restaurant.  Amazing views! 

 

 

From both sides of the restaurant, you can see the Pacific Ocean.

  On one side is a peaceful cove with many fishing boats.

 

 

The view out the other side of the restaurant is a beach shoreline of the Pacific. 

Come visit us and I will make sure you get to visit this gorgeous place.
