Hello all - Kyle and I went to Puerto Viejo for the long holiday weekend with our friends Andrea and Julio. Puerto Viejo is on the Carribean side of Costa Rica (the eastern coast). It is much less developed than the west coast - no big fancy hotels here. It is what everyone here likes to call "rustic" - which is not necessarily for everyone (if you like the perfect bed and a fancy bathroom, this is not the place for you!). We rented a house that we found on VRBO (man I love that site) - it was right on the beach, as you can see from the photos, with an enormous yard. The coconuts we are drinking in the pictures came from a tree in our yard! And there were plenty of lizards for the dogs to chase. The house was very simple (we will most certainly find a place with air conditioning next time because it is HOT), but it was big enough for the four of us and incredibly affordable considering the location. Not to mention, we practically had the beach to ourselves - you can see from the pictures that we did not have many neighbors. Izzy as you know is a big fan of the water, and on this trip she was really able to practice her ocean swimming because the water was very calm. Bronco, well, he still hates water, even when it is the perfect temparature. Hope everyone had a nice Labor Day weekend! Kelly & Kyle

Kelly has finally finished her travels and we can start having some fun in this country we moved to! For 4th of July weekend Kelly found an awesome bungalow almost right on the beach that is also pet friendly. We arrived at the beach house in the dark in the middle of a rain storm and somehow didn't get lost. The place is beautiful and a surfers paradise with black sand beaches and warm water. Here is a quick pick of the dogs' first visit to the ocean:
