There Are Basically Two Categories of People in this World:

1. People who have come to visit me here in Costa Rica.

And

2. Chumps.

If you are not Shaun Hamontree, Jed Carter, Sue Lee, or my grandparents-- you fall into Category #2 (Chumps).

However, just because you haven't scraped it together enough to come down and visit me here in tropical paradise, doesn't mean that you can't see the fun things I've been doing-- and vicariously enjoy them through me.

Here are some pictures from October of last year, when Jed and Shaun came from Kansas City to visit. Enjoy.

We spent a lot of time seeing the sights, and traveling around to enjoy the beaches and the hills.

This is not an ad for Ray-Ban.


Neither is this.


Or this.


Or either of these.



We rented Quads and motored up into the hills.

We walked on the beach. And talked about our problems...

We also enjoyed many fine sunsets on the shore. (With beer.)




This is what we did on a Tuesday at 1:15pm. What were YOU doing??...


We drove about 40 minutes south to Cemetery Island. This is an island where the people of Montezuma have buried their dead. The island is only accessible by foot during low tide when the water pulls back and a land bridge is exposed. At other times, the island is only accessible by boat.


Despite the ominous vultures who kept watch over us with suspicious eyes, the island itself was rather peaceful.






We also spent important time bonding (aka Drinking) with the locals.

This is Carlos Calin-- the gardener/security guard at Shaka.


He also looks like a vaudevillian cartoon villain. (Admit it-- he does!)



In all, we had a wonderful time in Costa Rica!
