We just got back from Monterrico after a week of some serious vacation (click on the link to see more information). It’s on the south coast and the town is very relaxed and truly feels like a chill Central American coastal town. Thatch roofs, sand roads, and lots of skin! It was a lot of fun. I have a lot of photos today.

Happy holidays and Happy New Year!

Well, that’s all for now! Have a safe and happy new year.

After one month of constant noise and buzz, the feria has finished! Less drunks and fireworks!

Here’s a little something I wrote up at home:

I wish we could share the day with family! Have a great thanksgiving everyone.

Here is a delicious black bean hummus dish Sarah and I made. Thanks for the tahini Joanne.(those are real tortilla chips)

Firework over our street. These went off until about 5 in the morning. We were going to stay to see the toritos (see below picture post, metal death cages with fireworks attached) but drunk guys kept trying to grab me and we left early because it was annoying. So no pictures of the toritos.

A moving dance squad called a Convite – bunch of ladies dressed up in amazon costumes dancing around. The shot is from our roof – our family provided them with drinks (yes drinks the feria is 24-nonstop drinking for some) and snacks and they came over afterwards from 8-11 and danced the night away.

that’s all for now! look for more pictures after thanksgiving – love you all, take care and safe travels
