(2017) Joanne & Valerie in Costa Rica

Val and I spent almost three weeks in Costa Rica.  We visited the east coast, we visited the middle a couple of time, and we visited the west coast.  Lots of birds, lots of animals.  Planes, boats, cars, buses. And one broken down taxi.

(2016) Joanne & Alisma in Europe

Alisma and I spent four weeks in France, Spain and Portugual.  I drove for much of it.  I  managed to get two cars through countless round-abouts without a single ding.  And Alisma managed to direct me to where ever we were heading, which is a much bigger achievement that me not killing us in a tunnel. We saw monuments, ate cheese (so much cheese), drank wine, hiked mountains, took photos of every cat we saw, developed an unexpected love of tiles and shopped.
