It has been 2 weeks since I returned home from Costa Rica and am now 2200 miles North but it has been with me a lot the last 24 hours. The sunny picture above showed up this morning on my Instagram feed. As November is over so is rainy season there. I shared the photo with the 7 people who were there with me and Pierre (who was there with his wife in January 2016 as well) shared this photo from then. We saw an “almost” sunset from beach one day but nothing like his, i especially love the cloud reflections in pool.
Yesterday I had my post adventure tattoo appointment and got a Costa Rica one I had roughly designed and my artist Craig Cheape made beautiful. My back is getting pretty full, not sure I want to delegate a nation to tramp stamp land 😉

I also just finished reading “the Costa Rica Reader” , an anthology of the country’s history. It helps to explain how it has remained a social democracy (with no army) amongst the volatile nations of Central America.
At half time both Germany and Spain were leading 1-0 and seemed to be in control. But second halves were wild and high scoring. Tokyo went to 2-1 for a win, Costa Rica went ahead 2-1 but then Germany came back and won 3-2. Good effort by the Ticos! Germany goes home to very disappointed fans.
I’ll take a FIFA break on Friday to save up energy for USA Vs Netherlands on Saturday morning. 10 am EST, even west coast fans can watch, Californians drink a Mimosa for each USA goal!
