RECIPES

Juices

I LOVE making juices. I try to make one every morning to take with me to work for a nice mid-morning snack. These are a few of my favorites. The serving size in these recipes is rather large, so I cut it in half to fill my pint-sized mason jar.

Juices are best consumed immediately, but as we all know that isn't always possible, keep them airtight and in the fridge for later.

Jaco!

Have you ever gone to a place completely open to new experiences and people? If not, you definitely should. Simply letting go and fully allowing yourself to enjoy your vacation makes it that much more worth it. This past weekend we traveled to Playa Jaco on the Pacific Coast of Costa Rica. Again, since we are all looking to spend the least amount possible on weekend trips, we took a fairly inexpensive route. So, no judgments please.. and I will definitely say that it wasn't bad at all. There will be many more such trips. The cheapest mode of transportation (aside from walking or riding a bike of course) is taking the bus. We were able to take a direct bus from Turrialba to San Jose for about $2.50. Then in San Jose we got on a collective bus to Jaco which was $3-4ish. Total it took us about 4 hours on the bus to get there.. and for less than $10, I think that is a success. Yea, you may not be riding the bus with the, uhhh let's say.. "cleanest" of people, but ho...

Jurassic Park

Saturday was definitely one for the books. We've only been here a few days, but are already making connections and seeing things that mostly only locals know about. We were in town one afternoon getting necessities and we met a store owner who has a son working at CATIE as an intern in the Director's office. Ironically, he speaks English perfectly and has lived in the States for most of his life. So we made an effort to stop by the office and introduce ourselves (something I would normally never do if you know me well haha). We got his Facebook information and got in touch over the weekend. He took us out in Turrialba for our first night on the town and helped us find our way, and Saturday we went with him to the gorgeous Aquiares waterfall in the mountains just outside of Turrialba. It would have been really hard to do without Sergio. The trails weren't the most visible and certainly not paved. So, somehow we were lucky enough to meet him and experience Costa Rica with...

Freezing Time

I  know that there always comes a point in ones life/travels where it is time for them to move on. Time to close this chapter. Time to take on the next adventure that lies just around the corner. But honestly, right now I just want to freeze time.  Sloth inside La Ruka Hostel .  I want to capture all those special little moments I've had with my friends here so that I can keep them forever.  Pirate Trivia - Tasty Waves Cantina I want to be able to go back to those nights I tore up the dance floor at The Lazy Mon , rocked an air band rendition of Journey's epic anthem Don't Stop Believing at Tasty Waves , or just spent my afternoons with the best of friends out at Playa Cocles.   Karaoke Night - Tasty Waves Cantina There have been so many times I've said, "Remember this moment" in the back of my mind. Like the times I would see my friends after a long time apart and get the biggest hug and kiss on the cheek you could imagine. Like...
