Ok I have been a bit of  slacker with the blog!!
Hanging out with Karen & Jackie, they are leaving today.

Jerry and Diane are on their way from the airport.
I have two fishermen here from Flamingo Bay Charters, the owner Lupita and her son Marco came and spent the night to make sure her customers were taken care of. They usually fish in Capos.
I really enjoyed meeting Lupita, smart business woman with some good insights...Definitely will keep in touch with her!
Restaurant was busy last night, I think the sandwich board Ricky made me is helping!!
Thanks Rick!
Just got back from Hojancha to go renew our licenses, what a drive over the mountains that is!!!!

Rick has a friend, Eric who was an exchange student who came to stay with Rick over 20 yrs ago.
Eric and his family came to visit today, they live in Philadelphia, Costa Rica. (Between Nicoya and Liberia)
They are a beautiful family and I really enjoyed meeting them, I now feel like I have family in CR!!

Xinia my cook is coming in tonight to make Rick a nice crab pasta.
Dinner was great, then Rick got into the Cafe Rica, like a Kahlua but stronger, then Gwen found a similar bottle called Golden Cream and we buried the whole bottle!! It is my new favorite drink! Thanks a lot Gwen for discovering this in my kitchen!!
