January 14 through 19
Orosi
Valley area
We've been getting settled in at our
new cabina. We love our cabina - it is
such a well designed cabin with all the amenities that we need. Here is a picture of the rancho (barbeque area)
outside our front door.
Whenever we are blogging or skyping
that is usually where we are, since that spot gets the best internet
signal.
We have a great view of Turrialba
volcano from the rancho.
The volcano is active and smoking.
On Thursday, we went with Ray and
Michele our new hosts to a gathering of the expats in the area. We had a great cajun lunch and got to meet
lots of nice folks from the US
who have settled in the area. It was
great hearing their stories. They said
they try to get together every couple of weeks.

On Friday, Eric and I went with
realtors Carol and B.F. to look at properties that are for sale. Carol and B.F. were super and we had a great
time touring around the area. We saw
some beautiful properties. We found this
perfect spot by a beautiful river, unfortunately that is just a shed in the
picture - no house. We need a house big
enough for some visitors.
They are picking the coffee
now. I guess the coffee picking goes on
for a couple of months. We have seen
them picking coffee way up steep mountain slopes.
We love the fencing that they put up here. They just plant a couple of different kinds
of plants with thick sturdy trunks really close together.

In Penas Blancas, there is an
unusual house covered with dolls. They
are really creepy looking - especially the impaled heads.
We aren't sure of the story behind them - but
it's got to be interesting.
