Cry Me An Ocean

"Remember as far as anyone knows, we're a nice normal family."

Homer Simpson

Costa Rica, land of volcanoes and coffee, sugar cane and surf. A green place full of living and Pura Vida. Our month here has been wonderful. We have met new friends and reunited with old. From the first light when the air is cool and everything is fresh, to the heated audience of the fiery sun falling into the ocean. Indelible in my senses are the charred smells of the burning leaf litter and the soft morning sounds of rustling palm fronds. Every moment a treasure.

"Dining with one's friends and beloved family

is certainly one of life's primal and most innocent delights,

one that is both soul-satisfying and eternal."

Julia Child

"Monkey monkey in a tree why you screaming bothering me?"

Josh Chapman

We have learnt to look into the trees and expect the unexpected. To look to the ocean and see the unimaginable. Some of us have rediscovered what made us happy and some have chanced upon new delights in the pursuit of happiness.

"The biggest adventure you can take is to live the life of your dreams."

Oprah Winfrey

“Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened.”

Dr. Seuss
