I moved!

Woo hoo I've moved! As much as I loved my old house, the road got too dangerous to drive and my car was in constant need of repair. My friend Charlie helped me out one day by giving me a ride home from the mechanic and was shocked at the condition of the road. He's Tico and told me it took him 3 tries to get up the hill so it's no place for a gringa to live! So he talked to the owner of a house near him and got me my new place! I now live in Miravalles and am love, love, loving it! Here's some pics:
The view! 

This one is more of a farmhouse. 

I have tons of roses! 

Sunsets to die for! 



My homey kitchen. 

Diego and Dora love it here too.

I have a vivero here where I can grow veggies, so far I had a bumper crop of caterpillars. There are cows on all sides of me, so the dogs are learning to herd. Diego is half corgi so it's in his blood, Dora is just a copycat. She looks so little next to them! 

I also took a bad spill in Uvita in November and broke my wrist. I got a hot pink cast put on, but it wasn't healing right so the put a bar on to hold the bones in place. Looks like I will have it for 4 months. It a bother, but it has started to heal so it's worth it. 

I am still telecommuting to the states,  Yay! So life is good. I am really happy here. In April it will be 4 years, time flies huh? My Spanish has gotten so much better, I can almost understand everything now. I even help translate for my friends. I find I go back to the states less and less and for shorter visits. This is home now. I miss it when I'm gone.
