Osa to Piedras Blancas

Hasty post from deep in the rainforest.. We left beautiful Casa
linda this morning. Last night the boys made dinner while diane and I pretended
to pack..

I managed to sep on a beetle last night that was about 4 inches
long..

The size of a mouse .. ewwwwww

This morning we got up and packed.. We signed the guest book
and put out a samstone..

This really is a magical place.

We had some spare food left over which the kids fed to the

Crabs.. Max and Gabe made a hot dog tree for Harold the Hawk

Tatiana came over to say goodbye. She’s Vickie’s daughter..
7 years old and very cute

She took this picture for us !

We said goodbye to Lynn. William. Vicky and Tatiyana.. We
loved our stay at Casa Linda.. It’s really an amazing place.. a perfect mix of
beach. Jungle, privacy and luxury.. We really recommend it to anyone looking
for a memorable and relaxing stay..

We took off around 9:30 for the grueling 12 mile drive back
to Puerto Jiminez.. The road is really rough.. cave ins, potholes, fallen trees

River crossings…

Mad cows.. ok.. they weren’t mad.. they were cute

Rickety bridges..

It took us about 3 hours to get ot our next hotel..Finca
Bellivista.. a treehouse nearly 90 feet in the air.. We were greated by their
blind bulldog, Kimbo…

It was pouring as we loaded up to go to our treehouse.. it
turned out to be a 15 minute pretty intense hike.. we weren’t prepared for
that.. we had some backpacks.. but we were carrying shopping bags.. we were
pooped by the time we got to the treehouse..

The treehouse is beautiful ..and/but.. very isolated.. we’re
the only ones here except jeff the caretaker about 15 minutes walk away.. We’re
deep in the woods, not too many animals.. no views.. it’s feeling pretty creepy
now..

We’re reserving judgment.. on how long we’ll stay..

For now it’s an amazing building ! Here’s the walkway to
the treehouse

Here’s the kitchen

And here’s the main house.. 90 feet in the air..

Here’s the porch up there..

And the master bedroom.

And here am I..

We’re all feeling quiet and subdued here in the woods.. peaceful..
and a little sad..

Lets see what tomorrow brings..
