(Joe) A sad day indeed since the New England Patriots, who should have gone all the way this year, bowed out at the hands of the NY Jets. The Jets will lose in Pittsburgh next week.. We watched the game by making a skype call to my son-in-law and he positioned the computer in front of his hugh projector and we could watch the whole thing. Just wish the outcome was different.
We spent two weeks in Ecuador, mostly a bit ill with an amoeba so we went to the farmacia and got the amoeba killer pill and it seems to have done the job. Ecuador is still mostly 3rd world and hygiene isn't the number one priority. It is clean but poor especially along the coast. Some beautiful locations along the ocean though and Cotacachi in the mountains was a lovely colonial town and the shopping at the markets was phenomenal.
We decided Ecuador was not our cup of tea so we headed out early and are now in Costa Rica! World of difference as tap water here is potable and the drive up country today to the northern coast was beautiful. Tonight we are at Ocotal Beach in Guanacaste by Playa Coco. We were here about a year ago and Ocotal beach is one of the few or the only black sand beach that we are aware of in Costa Rica. Gonna chill here for a few days then figure out if we want to go to the volcano region or head down to the southern coast. Probably volcanoes first since all the "kids" are coming over to meet us for a week (feb 26-March 5) of family vacation time down on the southern coast in Ojochal. Ahhhhh...... weather here (Ocotal) is nice and hot, soft waves are breaking out our window on the beach. I went down and took a refreshing dip early this evening while Sue prepared dinner. Ready to just CHILL on the beach for a few days. Don't get Ocotal confused with Ojochal, two different beach areas, Ocotal in the north, Ojochal in the south. Adios for now.
