I've been neglecting my blog for a while. For one, I've been waiting for them to install Internet in my condo since I arrived here 3 weeks ago. Even the Ticos know they're on Tico time, as that's what they call it. In the meantime, I've been taking my laptop to various places around town where I can steal unsecured wireless Internet.

Also, I've been enjoying my long-awaited time to myself (with the first wave of gringo friends now gone). I've been using this time to get acquainted with Tamarindo, the real estate here and the culture and people of this small beach town. I've already made quite a few friends here. Tonight, I hosted my first poker game at my condo in Tamarindo! Photos of that will be posted this week. And I think I'm going to start lessons with a private Spanish tutor this week. Only $18 per hour.

More later, when I can tear myself away from the beach and relaxation.

Here's one of my "workstations"...

I've been looking for a rental since I arrived here. Something I can call home for the next month. I plan on staying in/near San Jose for the first month, then find a rental closer to one of the beaches for the next month or more. This search has been keeping me very busy during the day and I find that I'm not able to sleep much at night. Once I get settled, I am going to sleep like a baby.

Anyway, I'm about to get ready and go looking around for rentals again today. There's actually a lot more to write about. A lot's happened already since I arrived a couple of days ago. Good things.

I'll write again when I have the time and energy.


Pura vida.
