    Raya, you are literally glowing. Neo is absolutely adorable and such a bright little man. He is the perfect combination of you both. You are doing a wonderful job raising him.

    Parenting in warm weather is so much simpler than in the cold!! Being outside, not worrying about big puffy jackets and hats and shoes and gloves etc etc etc is definitely the best!

      Some aspects are easier, but I birthed and raised three children here in CR and there are still lots of concerns and hassles like insects, snakes, and tropical diseases. But it's still an amazing place to live!

      @@karendavies6426 oh I definitely wouldn’t say easier! I think it’s hard in all climates! Just simpler to not have to pile layers and layers on just to go outside.

    I love Neo’s eyebrows. Women pay lots of money for eyebrows like that . He’s such a rockstar.❤ I forgot that pizza cutter is so much better than my mine which barely works. I’m on the hunt for the ultimate pizza cutter. It’s really beautiful there and community feels safe, friendly and welcoming.

    My favorite video in a long time. Been waiting for the return to the land of Pura Vida! We live on the Nicoya Peninsula north of your wedding location towards Samara. Besos y abrazos!!
    For scorpions and cockroaches make tarantulas feel welcome and safe. Rock walls give them nice nesting. We see a tarantula about once a month working hard for us. We NEVER see scorpions anymore and rarely see cockroaches with and open air kitchen, dining, social area at ground level! Also encourage geckos as well. Nature's way to keep things safe.

    Check under your pillows every now and then, when I was staying in Ciudad Calon I found a scorpion under my pillow a few times. So glad your loving Alegria, great place, visited there when I was in Costa Rica, your lucky you bought when you did, I think their either sold out or might have a few lots left, great atmosphere for kids to grow up.

    If you leave small open bags of (ground) coffee and maybe baking soda in the van and the car, it will help a lot with the mold. I once had a car submerged in a flood and that's how I dealt with the problem. It took months, but if you keep changing the coffee I think it will work faster.

    I love the community you have found down there. The communal garden and area is amazing.

Wish you all the best and cant wait to follow your amazing journey.

    i moved last year in with my girlfriend in costa rica. groceries for me has been the biggest challange. what i have found is that feria is the best for weekly fruits and vegatables that the supermercados don't have. Maxi Pali is definitely the best for prices. i would suggest getting a customer card for pricesmart and doing bulk groceries over there!

    @judettelmoe8339 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Wow, I saw Neo laugh for the first time, with you guys back in Costa Rica. His facial expression are way happier looking there as you commented. I would agree that being there is good for all three of you. You all look happier. I also think his senses are getting more not being in a walled building or wrapped up in cold weather wear around his head and that makes him feel and react differently to his surroundings. There is also some truth to the phrase distance make the heart fonder. By being gone so long going back was made more special. Love seeing you guys enjoying yourselves so much in this video. Take care
