Visiting Costa Rica always changes my perspective on many day to day things when I return to the States and our life here. A while ago I wrote a blog post titled “Walking Around the World in Flip Flops” in that post I referred back to one of our first visits to Costa Rica about […]
Wednesday morning arrived and it was time to pack up our little black backpacks, climb down from our treehouse with the oceanview, and begin our 2,000 mile journey home. Speaking of those little back packs…I still could have left half of what I brought at home. Life is so simple and carefree here, not much […]
After finishing our homemade dasayuno (breakfast) we decided to spend the day exploring the coast. We first went south, just beyond Uvita and Playa Balleña (which means whale’s tail) we had visited that particular beach before so we continued further south to Playa Ventana (which means Windows) I believe we paid 1,500 colones ($3) for […]
Saturday we took the day to just relax and enjoy the treehouse property. We eventually made our way to Dominical which is only a mile or so down the road. We walked around town noticing the changes that have been made since we were last here about six or seven years ago. Many of the […]
We boarded the 8:45am flight from Orlando, with a quick flight change in Ft Lauderdale. Two and a half hours later we were touching down in San Jose, Costa Rica. This is my sixth trip to this country, and I don’t think I could get tired of coming here. I still did not know any […]
Locals and tourists alike were beginning to pack in and stand shoulder to shoulder as Sean and Henny were playing a few songs in their set to kick off the weekly Wednesday night open mic jam session. I was exhausted from an already full day of work and play, but sat on a barstool with […]
Somehow as I have gotten older, on most days, I feel younger than I ever have. Maybe it was because during my twenties and thirties I was either pregnant or nursing babies…a lot of them. That does have a tendency to take its toll on one’s physical and mental health. My high school friends had […]
I have been wanting to write about last weekend, but I needed a week of sleep to recover from it to be able to write about it. Here is just a quick recap of last Saturday… The only thing Sean wanted for Christmas was tickets to see Dropkick Murphy’s. Atlanta was just one of the […]
Today is March Fourth. The only day of the year that is a command…to March Forth. For many people this is just another day…but not for the McNally clan. This is a holiday to be celebrated with exuberance! Years and years ago, this family celebration holiday was created by my mother-in-law (though we say mother-in-love) […]
Only ten short weeks ago, I met some new friends that had recently moved to Tybee. Kelly and Eric started talking to me one night when Sean was playing at the Sandbar. Kelly had been following pictures I shared on Instagram in the months prior to our meeting. She too is a nature photographer and […]
