YEP, I got a new one cost me a bundle, but there is one problem... its all in Spanish, no one sells the disc to down load the versions in English. So some how today if I can I have to figure out how to get on line and down load the something in english.
I need help!! but aleast now im back in service, just have to get profession XP and a few more programs. I am not a computer genius in fact I know the basics, So I guess this time I learn about it.
Yesterday and Thursday was spent in San Jose, I had many meetings with all sorts of different people, vendors furniture makers, drapery people, supplies and then Then THE REGIS RESORT! I contact them because they are buidling a huge resort here near Jaco on the beach close To LOS SUENOS, Marriots. It is a very large project with lots of Condos and custom built homes. I talked to the contact person and asked about being involved on my end with design. But of course they have someone from the states who is a part of the company and will be handling all of the design, with the exception of those who would like to do there own here, and then maybe I will be the recommendation for the Custom houses or the condos. The design end could be over a million dollars for each one. I decided to get involved with the sales of it, and discussed with the rep for ST REGIS, a contract for a brokerage.
Being that I will be opening a virtual store here soon I hope? the option of handling the sales of this project near the project would be an excellent Idea. So I signed the contract and now I am a broker for a new Resort a five star first class world reknound resort the ST REGIS.
So I will have all the information for the sales of them and I already have all the brocheres, Sales presentation, and information on the plot maps and prices. Right now the presales are happening with a five thousand dollar deposit. So as soon As I get my contract back with my brokerage I can add that to list of things I already do.
Now Diasa, has joined me and asked me to represent there condominums on the north end of the beach here, 24 units beautifully designed with three bedrooms and two baths. So my work is changing.. There are two attorneys that are joining me also so they can write all the contracts and do all the legal documents for the sales of these. I have now a corporation, so the purchase of property for me will be very simple, and I will soon have a residency as the numbers of people that join my company increase. As I SAID MY LIFE IS CHANGING.
Back to our days in San Jose, after longs hours and Tony driving all over, meeting this one and that one we met with the ST Regis director, had a drink with him and dicussed business, Me Juan Carlos, the attorney and Tony. Then Tony wanted to drop me at the hotel, but I wasn´t ready of course! We decided to go the fiesta Casino, After a beer for Tony I saw Pin one of his friends pin came up to me and said what are you doing here, I said listening to the great music and dancing, wanna dance? we did and Tony returned from the bathroom and Saw us dancing, when I looked and Saw the director of the REGIS sitting in front of me.... More later

The morning of Toucan
I was trying to publish this yesterday at the intenet cafe but as I did the power went out and deleted all of it so let me try to begin again.
The poor little toucan tried twice to enter the house, I was so shocked that it would do this but I was also facinated that it would actually come to me. Wow the colors of the bird was so cool bright yellow, and red on the tail near his butt, black on the tail and green near the wings. THe beak was totall yellow and black and big. It wasn't a huge one it was a smaller one maybe a female.
After that I was thrilled to think that I saw this so close up, but no one was around to share it with at all.
AWEEEE
Then later in the day I went to the internet cafe for only an hour, Ihad a meeting with the MACAW PROJECT. A first class project of condos next to my apartment with european designed windows, all in natural wood from the area, beautiful Italian floors, black granite counters and much more. Well I asked for the project and I got five, there are 26 of them so If I do well I will be able to do the rest. Right now they have quite a few for sale, they gave me all the information for them so I can help people if they like to know about it. Actually they asked If I would help sell them. They sit right on the same street as me next to the beach, on the front half but in a few months they will begin the second phase of Macaw and it will be on top of thebeach. There is a resturant, and complete services involved. Even rental services for the owners. The two I am beginging are done in beige, tan coco, and choclate. Gorgeous furniture and flat screen tvs which is very rare here to get. I have to price them tomorrow REALLY HARD TO GET HERE... The appliances are all top of the line I am so pleased to be a part of this project here IN Costa Rica.
I met with Ron the propreitor and We meausured for all the drapes and furniture. I am doing a living room out on the balcony, and a dinning room inside, the furniture will be in such a way that the people could flip flop the design and make it inside or out. GREAT CONCEPT!
Then Tony showed up with a new, drapery man, great fabrics. We all had our hardhats on and walked the sight got all our measurements and went on about our day.
Then we went to la Flor and met with another supplier to get number 29 ready for all the furniture and drapes that he hired me for.
The owner Of diasa who owns La Flor now is ready for us to do the design on his garden in his new home. So My book is filling and I am loving my work here in Costa Rica.
I missed Tony, he was gone for four days, and it was pretty quite at my house. I am so used to him doing things and taking care of me, thatI felt sad he was gone. So when I saw him I was happy as a little clam and actually jumped up and down and smiled from ear to ear.
We had a good talk the rest of the about the course of the week, Tony was thrilled that I got the MACAW< it could be a huge project with lots of money for the both of us.
Oh My high school sweet heard emailed me this past week, and Yesterday while I was in the internet cafe he called we had a great conversation, and well he might come and visit! That would be cool...
Today was not as fun, Last night I lost one of the diamonds out of my mothers ring. I was so depressed that I hardly slept all night. But I did get up and get ready to go to the gym, in the mean time Tony went outside only after I was outside checking for it on the ground, and then opened the car and found it!! I was then happy I cried. But last night in a dream I had dreamed that Tony found it and he did! wow...
I went to the new aerobics class and it was fun! no more Natalie. Came back Showered while Tony made breakfast and I worked on the list for the Macaw project.
Its been hot here and nice ,at night the rain is hard but everything is beautiful and green here. Still do not have a computer, my neighbor has let me borrow the computer today so this is how I am working and blogging. NEED ONE BAD TOO BAD NO ONE IS COMING FROM THE STATES! there expensive here.

The Morning birds
THIS MORNING, I woke up pretty early again, lately I have not woke up as early as I use to. I think the work I am doing is making me very exhausted but Today I was up around 6:30. I got up and looked around the day was so beautiful, lots of sun and birds once again singing. I heard lots of parrots in the sky, I made the coffee and made the bed, then opened the kitchen sink window that is small above the sink, it over looks the mountain side with a large mango tree in front of it.
As I peered at the huge macaws flying around the mountain, I could all the colors of there wings, bright red, blue, some yellow and a little purple. The sun was shinning so bright that they looked luminous to me. I was thanking God for this moment and thinking about how at this time of year in Portland the rain begins and and how sometimes in the morning its so gloomy. I really hated that, and now I have the sun in my face when I wake up making me feel so alive.
When all of sudden, I looked at the tree in front of me and there was a toucan sitting looking right at me less than 15 feet away! wow I thought HOW COOL! I started to talk to it and it stared, and keep looking at me. I talked and talked to it and thanked it for coming to my place and making me happy in the early morning hours.
He responded or she did??? she or he tried to fly in to my house.
So I put some pinapple in the window sill, and once again it tried but it missed and the window side. They are kinda Dumb I was told, this is the reason the bird could not come into the house. There judgement is not that good.
It was so cute, staring at me and turning its head back and forth each time I talked to it.
What a nice way to begin the day. I drank coffee and then got ready for my day. And now I am in the internet cafe blogging talking to family and to Milo, yeah Milo is talking to me again, What ya gonna do??
Today I go to the new MACAW PROJECT, its beautiful condominiums near my house on the beach Wow are they gorgeous, if anyone wants info I have it all and I can help you with the sale of them. They are so incredible and now I go the project so I will be doing the decorating for them all I hope!!! they are going to be very classy, first class all the way. Everything is comfy and soft colors, very breezy looking. with balconies that have dinning room tables or living rooms. my choice!! the colors are tan, and cream and chocolate.... with bits of sage and lime green... If the client likes I perk it up a bit. But Ron the big guy on the project likes these colors so these colors it is. I am so pleased that he is taking me on, And I know that the end results will be more work with him and Macaw.
Go on line and look it up Macaw condos in Jaco beach.
VERY COOL!!!
Today also I have a house in La flor for a lawyer that I am doing, and now a huge mansion in Alluejuela on the top of a mountian, including Diazas owners house. so things are really picking up for me.
Tony is still in Town, he went on Friday had many of his own things to do. I miss him I am getting so use to him being with me everyday that I am attached to him now, and I do need him in my work he has been a huge asset. Plus I have fun with him and He protects me too... I really need Tony.
He should be here today we have meetings so I know he is coming sometime this morning.
I plan on going to see my friend Elena sometime today, she has some lots that are pretty cheap, I would like to buy one and build a nice house on it. I been looking now for weeks but everything I try to get is either sold by the time I get here or the price has doubled in a weeks time. Oh one more thing, My old high school sweetheart has written me Robert Orndoff, wow I was happy to hear from him. For years we have kept in touch, always always there is chemistry with him and I, he still says he loves me but Our lives are different. He did mention he may come and visit, and yesterday to my suprise he called me here in Costa Rica! wow we talked for about 15 minutes, he had a song published and is still playing music and doing his company of transportation. He was very happy to talk to me and I was likewise. Interesting after all these years we still have the same repore and the same feelings how is that possible???
Robert was my dream for many years, we get along so well and laugh our heads off always... but life has its paths and Marianna was not on the path of Roberts life, as well as he was not on mine, but occassionally our paths cross and what a great time we have!
LOVE YOU ROBERT!!!

Have you missed me?
Its been so long since I blogged that I almost forgot that I do this.. Having only internet cafe's to go to is a pain in the ass... But now my neighbor the new one Jill and her hubby have a computer so I am using it today.
The week was not a busy one, although I had to meet with a client who lead me on now for three months, and promised to bring a computer and didn't and then sexually harrassed me in the condition of the contract. In other words told me he was doing nothing with me untill I had sex with him before he hired me to do his condo. This man is a lech, an old jerk.. I put up with his demeaning words and statements all week in order to obtain his condo. Sounds bad but hey sometimes in business as a woman or I should said most of the time with men and a woman dealing with them the suggestion of this is always there or in the back of there minds. He asked me out on Weds, to dinner, I thought perhaps that he was going to approach my contract, and disguss the price. I was all prepaired, but he said nothing but your'e late. Tony was preparing paper work for me while I got dressed. I waited on Tony for like fifteen minutes after I was ready told Tony hes going to be mad but he ignored and kept punching numbers.
When I showed up he did say your late, I apologized, then after one drink, He commented on my breasts, said they were saggy and that I needed plastic surgery, then said your face needs it too, and your lips need collagen, on and on. I put up with it and just smiled. I wanted badly to say thanks you jerk and your pot belly is hanging to the floor.. or something rude like that. But I smiled and ate the dinner of lobster, and shrimps and drank the best wine. So what I am saying is I was in spite of his rude and terrible words, I enjoyed the night ate like a princess and had other people talking to me there that I knew at The Hicaco. Its a very fancy place here in Jaco. It is right on the beach beautiful five star, with live music and food to die for. I think the bill for the two of us was 180.00 dollars. The evening consisted of one of my other clients Rocky seeing me and talking with us, and a new client developed from that outing. He was sitting next to us and over hearing Rocky and the Jerk Daniel. He handed me his card, and yesterday I called and went to his mansion in San Jose. WOW a little fish caught me a big fish.. so maybe that was the reason for the outing??? but the abuse?? there is no reason for that. I want badly to say something horrible to him before he leaves tomorrow. But only if I run into him.
THe rest of the week consisted of developing new contacts, and new clients and new vendors. So the work was not in the design end nor was it difficult. I even had a whole day that I stayed in the pool by the beach. I thought to myself wow despite all the crap I have been though I am very lucky, very blessed to have such a life that is not as complicated as it use to be and that I have the luxury to do simple but enjoyable things. I looked at property this week but missed the boat again by three weeks. They sold all the lots in this incredible five hundred house community that is being built in Hermosa.
I was disapointed, but realized that when it it meant to happen it will and to just trust that God has me in his hands. I want a house bad, so bad that I did cry after this disapointment. The amount of money I need to do this now it increasing daliy, I felt very discouraged and thought for a moment, that maybe possibly it will never happen. Then the next day I bucked up and said NO IT WILL HAPPEN HOW I AM NOT SURE. I will continue to work and strive and hopefully a big brake will come and I will not worry every again about how I live... Sounds stupid really when I write it but it is my inner thoughts, I want a nice place since what I do is make everything for so many people beautiful, isn't it Ironic that I the one that does make things beautiful for others has so little and no place that is beautiful??? but It is the driving force that keeps me going and makes me know that Soon I hope I will have my own place, with an amazing garden, and a pool! and more.. Material wants yes, but nessesary for me.
Honestly, I am happy with my life, I am pleased that I have a protector Tony, who does so much for me, a freind Adrian my angel who helped me when I was out of commision for the accident, he still calls and makes sure I am ok when Tony is gone. I have no one in my life that loves me per say like a boy friend or lover.. but I know that someone loves me... and I love so many people. I have a car, its nice but cheap and nothing to really be braging about.. and I have a simple little apartment. But I live in a beautiful place and now the work is picking up... so What do I have to complain about? nothing...
I felt melancoly this week, missing my kids, missing the opportunity to obtain that lot for a home, not having a companion, no computer that is my life LOL, although Tony is a great Friend and tremendous help.. Actually I am glad for whatever our relationship is. Not sure right now since it is such a strange thing to have a man staying here, and working with me, yet were friends and do social things. But not involved. Its wierd ok, but I like that It is a sort of companion.
Now,Jill is here wrapping presents for a friend, were going to find out about the gym, they have new aerbics class so I am happy cause I would love to have a normal exercise routine and as it is I don't. So I can not wait to begin again on that.
Then today is a huge meeting for me, with a developer for 25 condos to be done by December, If I get this it could be the window of opportunity that will free me of my worrys about my living arrangements, and provide security for the near future.
Then I may go out tonight and dance, I have not done that in two weeks for me that is an outlet. I love it!
The Weather here has been rainy at night but the days are hot hot hot...I noticed there are many Americans on Vacation in the town this week, Oh and I heard from My highschool sweetheart Robert Orndoff... how sweet that he wrote.I invited him to come and visit. But AS it is no one has come. They sure do not know what there missing here.. The good here outways the bad. I will continue to look at life that way. And I sure hope that Robert or someone I know comes soon. I need to see friends and family.

I felt melancoly this week, missing my kids, missing the opportunity to obtain that lot for a home, not having a companion, no computer that is my life LOL, although Tony is a great Friend and tremendous help.. Actually I am glad for whatever our relationship is. Not sure right now since it is such a strange thing to have a man staying here, and working with me, yet were friends and do social things. But not involved. Its wierd ok, but I like that It is a sort of companion.
Now,Jill is here wrapping presents for a friend, were going to find out about the gym, they have new aerbics class so I am happy cause I would love to have a normal exercise routine and as it is I don't. So I can not wait to begin again on that.
Then today is a huge meeting for me, with a developer for 25 condos to be done by December, If I get this it could be the window of opportunity that will free me of my worrys about my living arrangements, and provide security for the near future.
Then I may go out tonight and dance, I have not done that in two weeks for me that is an outlet. I love it!
The Weather here has been rainy at night but the days are hot hot hot...I noticed there are many Americans on Vacation in the town this week, Oh and I heard from My highschool sweetheart Robert Orndoff... how sweet that he wrote.I invited him to come and visit. But AS it is no one has come. They sure do not know what there missing here.. The good here outways the bad. I will continue to look at life that way. And I sure hope that Robert or someone I know comes soon. I need to see friends and family.

Been a long time since
Its been a long time a week or more since I blogged. The reason is because I do not have a computer here in Costa Rica any longer, As I said in earlier blogs, my computer was stolen here and it had lots of years of work photos and all my work information, with out back ups. How stupid was this? GOD as the days go by the more I realize this was the most stupiest thing a person can ever do is not back up. WOW what a mess, trying to work in this country with out is nearly impossible. It may be a while for me buy a new one. I had one new supposed client promise to bring me a computer, but when he arrived he brought nothing. I was very disapointed. He made excuses but I know he didn't even try to comp one for me even though I sent him all the information he asked for so that he could get the correct computer. I was so mad I can not even express how angry I was trusting an American who promised.
Enough of that on to the great things I have been doing aside from struggling with out my computer for work.
LA PAZ WATERFALL GARDENS
Last week I decided to take a day and just free my mind of all the worries I have here and try to be inspired by the world I am now living in and try to renew my spirit.
Tony had told me about LA PAZ water fall gardens in La Paz near Poas Volcano.
So I took a day and went to the area to see for myself how beautiful this was according to his discriptions.
I drove the mountian winding road beautiful the vistas, the fog surrounding the volcano, was surrounding the car and encroaching the hillsides near the LA Paz, wow what a cool hotel. Go on line and look at the La Paz waterfall gardens. It is a first if not ten star hotel and incredible botanical garden located in the mountain sides of this jungle area.
I rented a suite, it was expensive but so well worth every penny I spent. I checked in and then went to the lodge that they directed me to. It sat on a hill side with a beautiful cement path with rocks linning the path and great plantings all the way to the lodge. It had a fire place, and two jaccuzzi's one on the balcony, one in the bathroom. The bathroom had a huge waterfall and garden in it. The whole place was done in a lodge style setting and was first class all the way. Robes were on the benches made of stone, the floors stone, all slate. The two showers in this one bathroom were all stone and were waterfalls. Wow incredible. It had a bar, and a small kitchen area. beautiful Stain glass in the bathroom, sky lights and great lights reflecting on the plants.
In the bed area was a large over scaled bed made of logs and twigs all bleached white with a canopy set in such a way that any queen would be at rest in this bed!!!
The mosquito net was draped all over the whole thing.
I walked the grounds before dark, and saw the fish lakes with incredible waterfalls walkways, and lights every where . The landscape intertwined with the natural, was most incredible. They had swiming pools that were intermixed with the lake ponds. AS I walked the grounds the sounds of the birds and the frogs, the river and the waterfalls lifted all my worries and made me feel as if I was in Heaven.
I went to one area near the lakes that had a small restaurant, and bar with a beautiful open fireplace. It was raining slightly, and I sat at the bar had a michelada, talked to the people and enjoyed the surroundings of this astounding work of art.
I saw the butterfly garden that is all inclosed, but it was nearing dusk so most of the butterflies were sleeping and I realized it would be best to go in the morning when things are fresh, to really get the most of this perfect situation to enjoy the enormous amounts of butterflies that are living here in Costa Rica.
After Two micheladas, I walked back up the trail to the lodge I rented, and turned all the lights on and sat on the huge balcony and starred at the stars that were so bright it filled the sky. The balcony had that jacuzzi remember? so I turned on music, turned on the waterfalls in the bathroom, filled this machine that they provide oils and essesnces for you to concock and put into this machine. It fills the air with sents to invoke a memory of the past or present.. or of something you enjoyed at one time in your life. In other words, takes to a time that you felt extremely good.
So I mixed vanilla, and eucalyptis... my childhood of my mothers cooking and the trees in California.
It was divine, I ejoyed this idea of the past.
I got into the hottub and totally forgot what had happend to me the week before. I went in both hottubs ordered room service, the best shrimp with curry!! and a ceasar salad. YUM the best! I had wine lots of it and relax to the ultimate.
Wow what a night!!!!
The Next day I took three or four hours and hiked the trails there, saw the butterfly garden, the orginal houses, the farms ate the best breakfast, total buffet. I spent and hour or more in the orchid garden, then the hummingbird garden. WOW THIS PLACE IS TO DIE FOR!! I want to go back.. to bad it wasn't with someone I love or with someone who loved me???? DANG... what a great place to honey moon.
Three hours in the trails with tons of waterfalls, and great sites! and there in the middle of now where was a wedding going on on a small knoll, near the waterfall grande, with musicians, a videographer, and photographer. Only me, I sat I cried and I watched at this wonderfull time of peoples lives. I got to experince this alone no other people but me... wow
Then I walked for another hour on the trails and then rode the bus back to the hotel.
It was cool, I so enjoyed this and got a video and I hope that I can watch it soon to recall the unbelieveable sensations that I experienced in this short advernture. COSTA RICA IS MOST ASTOUNDING... I enjoy it and love it more and more each day although I have had some very bad experiences, the good totally outways the bad. In this case there is no measure when my eyes behold the beauty that god made and for us to enjoy. Some of us never ever think of doing things like this. But for me this was the first of many more to come and for me this was the perfect thing to do to forget the ill will that was done to me. I was so overwhelm, so in love, so happy and so excited to be in the most beautiful setting anyone can ever imagine. THANK YOU TONY!!!
For sharing your information with me... Although I know Tony will never read this, honestly I have to thank him, it was because of him that I experienced this pleasure of life. THANKS TON!
THe rest of week was just trying to work and create work for the two of us. Tony is a great helper, thank god for him... I know I have said this but I do everyday Thank the lord for him. Right now he is at the house protecting it so I can be out doing what I want.
This week was tough, not much work just trying to accomplish work.. and making contacts, making a corporation for myself so I can buy property and open a ligit business here.
We have been meeting with attorneys and more all week.Now this week we will try to get new account's and begin a new house soon. Allan as deposited me and so will one more, so the work will begin again
The nights has had lots of rain, the weather is changing here now its winter three months into it. The days are hot but the nights are cooler, very nice. Many trips to San Jose to try to accomplish business.
Actually its been kinda a fun week, many friends many parties and more more talking. life is good...
Love My Costa Rica, right now My friend from Columbia..Juan Carlos is here visiting me in the internet cafe, he is a real character! funny and sexy... but really a riot.
He says crazy things to me all the time.. hes fun to be around.
The internet cafe right now it getting full so I guess I am going to end but to say one more thing.
THANK YOU PEOPLE WHO HAD WRITTEN ME AND SAID THEY WERE SORRY to those people who follow and worry about me thank you for your prayers.
Keep Reading and hopefully come and visit me soon. I would love to show you around and help you do or find whatever you need here IN COSTA RICA!!
Enough of that on to the great things I have been doing aside from struggling with out my computer for work.

Davids family, lived in this little wooden house that had such large holes between the boards that day light shined right through. I was shocked to see this house, since his family build really nice furniture for me. It was as if this house was built in the earlier 20´s and still was in exsistances. The porch was of course slanted and most of the furniture for living was on this porch. An old beat up sofa, two side chairs and a simple run down wooden table with a nice cloth on it. The surroundings were very messy and wild unkept. It looked just like the beverly hill billies shack. When walking up to the house I noticed that Davids dad was standing on the porch and waiting for us to arrive. Seven of us, new visitors people he has never seen, welcoming them to his very humble home. We all greeted and then walked the house and the surroundings. We saw this big log on top of another log in a wedge position, you rock it back and forth for some reason? As I walked about I saw sugar cane, bananas, and a rough crude garden with chilis in it. lots of Garbage. Chickens running about, and guinea hens in cages. In the far corner of the property was to man made lakes for talapia, a River fish that is very tasty.
Then I saw David show one of the guys with Tony what these logs were for. They were for smashing the sugar cane to make juice. It takes time they have to run it back and forth a few times while one hold the cane and the other rocks the logs. There is a bucket down below catching the delicious juices of the sugar cane.
I watched, Nick from the USA Filmed it and Jill was in Awe. Her husband was chewing a fresh piece that was kept in the frig by Davids Mom.
Jadeda was washing dishes in the kitchen, but there was no sink, it was slat´s of boards with water running over it and the water ran through the slats. There was just spaces betweeen the boards. Wow this was different. I was in a completely different Rhelm than I operate in. Since my work is to make things beautiful for peoples homes, for me to see this was a step back in time, and surely made me appreciate all I have which is not much, but much more than these `people can even imagine.
Later we all rode to the river, there are two that join one is hot and one is cold, the areas where the river is was exactly if you have ever been like the ride in Disney land, the log ride? have you been? where the growth of the plants hang over the river colorfull and green combined. Lots of plants and birds. THe water in this area was cold,freezing compared to ocean here that is very hot and most of the waters in the costal area are very warm.
We played, drank cacique with squirt, and lemon and all went in the river! it was so refreshing. Lots of Rocks, waterfalls and pools.
We returned to a nice but humble offering of food from Davids mom. It was simple Rice, yucca, potatoes, some meat broth from soup, Home made tortillas.
Good and filling. In a few moments we left to return to Jaco, we stopped later and got ice cream and chatted with the other people in the other car and then on the road we got.
Returning to Jaco late, We all just went to bed tired from the great weekend monday Adventure.
This week was on Meetings, Tony had things he was doing personal not much work. Then this Thursday we went to the Jungle to dance, sing eat and have a great time with 7 of my other friends, I danced from nine at night till two in the morning. I still wanted to but things got ify, everyone was getting drunk and very tired. So off we went back to Jaco, only to stop at a special place Tony knew about on a cliff so we could see the Sea in the moonlight! we all got out of the car 7 of us,and just stared. Edwardo took photos.. It was fun.
YEsterday We Went to San Jose to propose a new idea for My work To Diasa and meet with Pin my Drapery guy and then to Moses for a meeting. We ended up at the mall, ate a subway sandwich and then I rented a small but lovly little hotel in Alluejuela. We had a beer said good bye so, and Tony left to go to his house. In the morning I had got up to a beautifull Garden , tall banana trees and palms, even pine trees. Ate some fresh fruit that they offered and drank some sandia, watermellon that they blend up.
Walked the gardens, then got dressed to ride back here to Jaco. Today the pool after I internet, tonight just rest and gain my thoughts about this once again New Adventure I am about to take with my work. Wow never had so many offers ever, many people offering me different things... much to think about.

In the Evenig at Jadedas Parents house
In the evening At Jadedas parents house, we heard pigs sqweeling in the background, they new that Jadedas Dad Orlando was ready to feed them the fresh yucca that he just dug out of the ground. It was really cool to watch him feed this extremly clean animals in pens made of concrete with not a drop of dirt in them. I bet this meat is very tender since the animals never walk or get out of the pens. My friends from the states took photos and videos and it was a very interesting time for them. The place reminded me of Porterville in the country with tons of plams and tropical plants if you will? the level of the land I think is what I mean.
AS if got dark Tony and I admired the Moon and the whole star filled sky. JUST TO DIE FOR! the smells and cool breeze, then we all walked as it got dark to the river, yo could hear animals, monkeys and lots of bug sounds.
We walked with flash lights to the river and just admired the beautiful tropical flowers that filled the area. Later we sat to a very interesting dinner Chop suey that Jadedas mother made by hand, also the best Hearts of palm dish I ever ate! and salad. Very different for all of us but so genuine and delcious!
LAter we all danced in the living room while sitting around and telling Stoies. I felt kinda wierd at one point because Jill the gal from the USA questioned me about HOw come your sons have not ventured here to see the country and you? I didn´t know what to say, then she added wow I want you tobe my mom... they are really missing out on this. I know this but they have there own lives so I just carry on and live the great life I am having now.
LAter the next day we ventured to Davids Family some miles away on another rock street, this was an extremely different situation here, only after we ate home made tortillas and some interesting corn breakfast bread. Well I have to go the internet plac is asking me to stop, so stay tuned, hopefully soon I may have a new òmputer I have so much to tell, I will be doing a new studio business soon and there is much to write about that, plus the thingsI have done in more adventures this week, Wow MATA PLATANO THIS WEEK WITH SEVEN FRIENDS WHAT A HUGE FEISTA WE ALL HAD!! More to tell soon thank you all for reading, And please send me a note!

UPDATE
Well the reason I have not updated the blog was my apartament was robbed and many things were stolen the most important was my computer. It was an HP pentium laptop. I very expensive one with many years of work in it, many photos of the freinds family and my past. So many things. I cried alot in the past week, its been extremely difficult to function in business, not to mention no contact with the world outside of Costa Rica.
I was out with my clients Friends in the evening when this happened, Tony and Keith. My Tony was out with his buddies for the night. Who would have known that they would come and take all our things?
I have recovered now, still do not have a computer, dont know when I will but I have to say that -people have been especially nice to me since. The guys Tony and Keith gave us a nice gift today through Luis, and Sylvia, two hundred dollars and I split it with My Tony, since some of this nice things were taken also.
Since this time, I took a couple of days and went to the Carribean side of Costa Rica, we were suppose to have a meeting with one of my furniture makers near Limon. We went on Sunday with Three Amercians I just met, David ,Jadeda, and Tony Silva My Manager. We drove and saw the most scenic sights, Waterfalls, beautiful mountians, strawberry fields, coffee fields and fog filled lofty mountian sides. So many waterfalls, so many lovely sights that most the tourists never ever get to see. What a wonderfull time of refreshing. We a stopped at this botanical Garden and waterfall area, but David was being angry so we continued on the road to Limon. Tony wanted to drive so he took over and showed us all around. It was the best!
Through the rolling hills with intermitant palms and tropical plants, my eyes were filled with joy and enjoyment of the beauty of this country. How could someone not want to come here and see this place that I now live and try to not be angry with.
This day of liberty for me made me forget how horrible I felt most of the week. It made me realize that in life there is so much more than the material things we all possess. As we got closer to Davids Wifes familys ranch it became more and more beautiful the country was filled with bamboo, rivers, and many many palms. Lots and lots of Pineapple fields and many palmito fields.This is hearts of palm orchards that are loaded with young palms that are harvested in order to have the tender young meat of the palm.
Beautiful fields wow I was in awe now of this side of the country, although poverty is really prevelant there.
Riding though unpaved roads with only rocks for the payment, we rode for maybe a half hour to Jadedas moms and dads house located in the country across rivers and and farms. lots Of bulls and many many orchards.
Wow I was so happy to be out and about and seeing nature.
