Connection!

Yes, it’s true – we now have internet service without the dreaded bus ride or having to haul the laptop everywhere we go, in search of wireless! Much thanks to our dear friend Marcos who kindly made the arrangements. We are so very grateful to him and also to ICE, the Costa Rican government mega-agency in charge of communications, utilities and infrastructure – and apparently, foresight and innovation. Marcos’s new government-issued cell phone has a router chip built-in. Wherever this phone is, there is wireless internet service. Our Costa Rican world has just e-x-p-a-n-d-e-d! 

About this blog

During a nine-day, first-time visit to Costa Rica last year, on the spur of the moment we purchased four acres in a remote part of the province of Puntarenas in the mountains at the edge of the Pacific. Our little farm (finca) overlooks Cerro Chirripo, the highest mountain in Costa Rica. We don't speak Spanish, we had to mortgage property, and we had only known each other for less than a year. This was Pecos's first international travel, and my second. We are leaving Oregon to immerse ourselves in the culture and beauty of this remote place for 3+ months. Will living in Fossil (100 miles from any sizeable town) have prepared us for this adventure? We hope you will join us in Dec. 2009 as we begin to experience the 'real' Costa Rica! Pura vida!
