Just finished up our farewell tour of South Central Virginia , a place we called home for 10 years back in the 90s.......and to this day we still have strong ties to our old neighbors and friends there. So for all of you who have never experienced life in the genteel south you have missed out on southern hospitality , manners , politeness and the endless refills of " Sweet Tea ".
Funny thing..........that same feeling of southern hospitality resonates throughout the small Costa Rican beach community of Zancudo which we will soon call home . Many of our friends will admit , of all the people they have known we are that one couple who would pack up and move on.........we have only done it about 18 times but never outside of the US border.........There always has to be a first time .
So.......we are staring down 68 days filled with 2 of the most home spun Norman Rockwell inspired Hallmark filled holidays.......Thanksgiving and Christmas...........Don't want to burst anyones bubble but my 2 least favorite of all the holidays.........eat , eat , eat , drink , drink , drink , and spend , spend , spend and for me drink again just to block out the memory ..........I am not Scrooge , I just do not understand why we celebrate these 2 holidays with such excess.........and to tell you the truth , I don't understand how Christmas decorations are already up in the stores and we haven't even put the Nina , Pinta , and the Santa Maria back in drydock from Columbus Day. Do you know Christopher Columbus discovered Costa Rica ( Rich Coast )...........enough or I am going to
