4 snouts up for Hotel Colinas del Sol in Atenas, Costa Rica

(:)(:)(:)(:) for Hotel Colinas Del Sol in Atenas, Costa Rica

"It's like a jungle sometimes, it makes me wonder how I keep from going under"  Even though he meant nothing like this, Grandmaster Flash (the granddaddy of rap) had it right.  The cultivated jungle feel of Hotel Colinas is amazing.  It actually feels like we're plopped in the middle of one--can't believe it.  Yet we have a heavenly little bungalow room with a porch and hammock and comfortable beds and bathroom for a reasonable price.  The proprietors are helpful and the food is good.

We're using this as the hopping off point to visit our son at New Summit Academy nearby which Nick attends.  Then we're off to Monteverde to visit the Cloud Forest.

Greetings from Costa Rica

Wow, do I only blog in South America?  I hope not.  I have a week off and internet in Costa Rica so it only makes sense to blog.  Well I just tried and failed to take a picture from our hotel room at the Hotel Colinas del Sol--it's paradise basically, hammock, jungle, bird sounds, geckos aplenty.  About to walk over to the school to see our son for the first time since November.  Super excited.   More later.
