My right arm



So when toucans come close, you do whatever you can to see them. I just spent 20 minutes on the roof, here at The Treehouse Hotel.

While deliriously running with my camera, I left my right arm on the door to the patio. OUCH....It was totally worth it. The toucan, Willy (I've now named him) was just 20 yards away in the tree. Happily enjoying lunch!

I love this place....but I do miss my right arm.

Painting the sky





This is a normal occurrence in Monteverde. Not sure if it's really fair, but I'm definitely okay with these sunsets. The photos were taken on the patio of Hidden Canopy. If this doesn't tempt you for a Costa Rica Trip, I don't know what will!

Why does salt and baking soda look so similar?

Last night I had the itch to cook. Potato soup sounded perfect. However, I've never made it. Thinking....this can't be that hard, throw in a bunch of potatoes, a few veggies, add milk and butter and we're good to go. Well, of all things to mess up I added baking soda instead of salt. There are 4 clear containers in the kitchen that all contain white substances. So when grabbing what I thought was salt and tossing it in, I instead decided to add alka seltzer to the potatoes. Perfect!

Try explaining why the soup sucks.....in Spanish. And then, try watching everyone's faces while they attempt to swallow.

I love this place!

Good thing the brownies I made before were amazing.
