Weekend Update
Being out of town did HC and I wonders. I needed a change of scenery even if it was only for a few days.Usually if we go away there are all sorts of activities planned. (Lots of running around to see this. Or to do that. Etc…) Or at least there are more options available to us. But where we stayed is near not much of anything so we were able to hang out & relax. I didn’t feel like we were missing out on something because there wasn’t much nearby.
We went on a couple of hikes, got spa treatments, hung out, drank beer & wine by the fire, read and talked. Away from the TV, computer, crowds, traffic, and noise. It was nice. I think I really needed a weekend like this. I may try to plan 1 of these quiet weekends every few months just to calm back down.
The food at the lodge was pretty good. Friday night, I had Lamb Chops. HC had Stuffed Shrimp. Saturday night, I had Prime Rib. HC had Pasta Primavera. Both evening’s dinners were done very well.
We were within a few miles of some hiking trails. They were pretty with a light covering of snow. HRH had a good time running, sniffing, and digging.
I got about 60% of the way through the Costa Rica for Dummies book. I’m not a reader and it’s amazing how much I was able to read when there we no distractions. So now HC and I need to discuss what we want to see in CR. I want to hike in the rainforest, see the cloud forest, and do a zip line above the forest. HC’s interested in the rainforest and the beaches. CR is a small country so we should be able to meet both of our requirements.
