Adventures in research, motherhood and travel
Last weekend, six of our friends from different points in life all converged in Costa Rica at the same time! So we took a quick excursion to Montezuma, which is at the very tip of the Nicoya Peninsula. Somehow this was the first time we made it to the beach since we’ve been in Costa Rica– it’s like I’m down here to work on my dissertation or something 🙂
Baby Reed was happy we finally brought him to the beach so he could get his first taste of sand
Yesterday we were invited to attend the opening of a new cafe in San Luis adjacent to the Community Center. To celebrate the opening of the cafe, everyone was given a free lunch, so perhaps unsurprisingly, the place was packed! For such a relatively small and rural community, I have been really impressed by how many people turn out for community events like these.
After enjoying a tasty lunch, a group well-equipped for hiking began to congregate at the front of the Community Center and we learned that they were going to walk a portion of the Sendero Pacífico.
