costa rica update, part 1

The Pool

Pura Vida from Costa Rica!

We took one look at the infinity pool when we arrived at the lovely Blue Spirit retreat center in Nosara, Costa Rica and knew we’d have a great week.

Richard jumped right in, doing his first handstands and forearm stands — ever — in the middle of the room! Look at that smile in his face.

Lauren was so excited that she did a handstand on the beach at sunset tonight!

Here’s where some of us are staying, the Plantation Casitas.  Car alarms and sirens have been replaced by howler monkeys at all hours of the day and night.

We’re having an amazing time, with lots of laughter, learning, and a ton of fun as we stand upside down in the morning, then get wiped out on the surfboard in the afternoon.

We’ll post more photos throughout the week!
