Leaving Guatemala to beautiful Costa Rica




Antigua... a piece of cake!


Plaza of Antigua, a nice spot to chill out and to eat our picnic: "tomato sandwiches with basil, cheese, avocado (palta) and our bottle of water". After antigua, Atitlan lake, to land in San Marcos little town.



Our way to Santiago to see where is "Moximon", a bit unsafe and a disappointing Adventure.

Thomas decided to have a little time with them. Part of the beach was just for him.
Our children are feeling very different after this beautiful experience.








Inviting Vitalis to dine with us,
a Spanish tortilla and a Chilean vegetables soup.

¡Salud!

Con nuestros amigos Maria y Borja... Gallegos hasta la medula!
Hey Borja, por si lees esto algún día, te diré que no fuí capaz de hacer el Tarzán con esa soga. No me la pude.



With Vitalis, the owner of "The Sunset Hotel", a true gentleman, a good host in the beautiful spot of Monte Verde. Nice breakfasts, he is a magician with an old stove.

The Costa Rica is a dream place to visit. It has spectacular beaches and peaceful environment. The Samara Island is an excellent place for a weekend vacation.
