Pura Vida!

pura vida (adj)- expression used in Costa Rica meaning life is good!

Words cannot possibly describe this place.....so I'll use a number to explain it.  98.  That's ninety-eight damn degrees!  And, we're not complaining one bit!  We actually forgot what weather like this feels like after the long winter back home this year.  Let me tell you.....it feels great!  No snow in the forecast here in Costa Rica!  
 

We're staying at the all-inclusive Guanacaste Riu Hotel & Resort.  5 big stars, baby!  We can't remember the last time we've been pampered at an all-inclusive resort.....maybe our honeymoon 11 years ago?  My how time flies!  And, the price is still the same for all food and drinks - FREE99!!!  Gotta love the all-inclusive resorts!


Speaking of all-inclusive....check out the picture below.  If this isn't room service of the highest quality.....I don't know what is.  We literally have a cabinet of Vodka taps at our disposal 24/7 with a refrigerator stocked to the gills with sodas, juices, beer, and water.  How fast can all of you guys get here?  Party in room 2004!!!
 

Oh!  FYI - you won't find us in our room until after 6pm.  That's when the pool closes and Jenesa is kicked off her stool at the swim-up pool bar!  She already knows all the bartenders by name and she's making friends with the other drunks.  We made a group of new friends on day 1.....a couple from Philly and a doctor from Detroit.  Dr. Max said he's willing to write us a note if we wanted to stay a few extra days and play hookie from school next week.
