Ever since then I've been trying to find ways to work surfing into where I'm going. In a couple months I'm going to Costa Rica with my family and I'm already hyped. I'm hoping I can find a costa rica surf school before I get there. I think it would be awesome to get lessons for my son and myself. It seems like it should be pretty popular there. If I can't find anything online before I go, I'm sure that some of the locals can help me find an open costa rica surf school like www.laescueladelsol.comRichardnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2515247027173641993.post-23388672357707356202010-03-15T15:08:26.979-04:002010-03-15T15:08:26.979-04:00Nice.Nice.Christine Vyrnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15125525692093575724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2515247027173641993.post-51953404941473708742010-03-13T00:07:39.219-05:002010-03-13T00:07:39.219-05:00wow... that lines by Blake... exactly what has bee...wow... that lines by Blake... exactly what has been dominating my mind during this past month...<br /><br />leave it to live longer... possession and keeping just kill...<br /><br /><br />really enjoyed reading your account... always full of witty points to ponder upon...<br /><br />thought-provoking point about the danger of finding our ideal...<br /><br /><br />glad you had a fun time there...human beinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09232419187783429903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2515247027173641993.post-19101879815072420452010-03-12T10:30:14.254-05:002010-03-12T10:30:14.254-05:00"it seems, there’s nothing more dangerous tha..."it seems, there’s nothing more dangerous than finding your ideal...especially if the plan is to try and hold on to it for good instead of simply enjoying the perfect moments you get before letting them go..."<br /><br />Well said...our own breath is a constant reminder of the rhythm of receiving and letting go...and trusting that the next breath will come (if it's meant to!)<br /><br />Beautiful photos.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15349928247626849914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2515247027173641993.post-71720786491186050002010-03-12T10:02:49.130-05:002010-03-12T10:02:49.130-05:00It sounds like a little slice of paradise, Jay. A...It sounds like a little slice of paradise, Jay. Always wanted to learn to surf but just never got around to it. I did take a surf lesson in Hawaii but boy did I suck at it. I was fine as long as my belly was planted firmly on the board but as soon as I started to try to stand, I flopped off the board like a wounded big mouth bass (how's that for descriptive language--lol).<br /><br />I loved the photos--and would have liked hearing what was under the "Jesucristo." <br /><br />Costa Rica is one of the strangest mixtures of folks from all kinds of walks of life. There are definitely the crack-addicted badasses that were forced out of the U.S. for either legal or partying reasons, then there are those who are furthering their search for spiritual enlightenment, then there are the tourists with their white socks, sensible shoes, and cameras hanging off their necks--and then there are the locals (of course). It makes for a colorful bouquet of humanity, I'd say. <br /><br />I've read the last few of these posts (catching up on my blogging)_ and I am really enjoying reading about your trip! Sounds like it was a good one--better than the last!<br /><br />MelindaMelindahttp://blog.melindaville.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2515247027173641993.post-66755445463922789102010-03-11T09:44:51.480-05:002010-03-11T09:44:51.480-05:00I have a lot of catch up reading to do here (as ev...I have a lot of catch up reading to do here (as ever) but before I say anything else may I just insert a big fat OMG because it appears that you have just blogged post after post of beautiful pictures to go with your words.

The good is that your vacation is sitting in your mind ready to be summoned forth when you need it. Good deal.
