Playa Hermosa, Jaco, Las Olas...

So today was day 3 of our time here. I really love Costa Rica, here are a few of the highlights over the last couple days. I'm having a blast with my new Canon 5D Mark II, I shot video while riding horses today, galloping at full speed on the beach. Ok, that was a bit crazy, but the footage is cool! This kinda makes me appreciate the guys who lived out in the old west. I love riding horses and it was a fun to hang out the six of us and do that today. Costa Rica is normally VERY lush, but this is the end of the dry season and its a bit dryer than normal, but the good thing about that is the mosquitos are at a low!

Its so refreshing after having endless days traveling and working to take some time to spend with my wife and friends. When your surfing, or doing whatever you love, your mind does not even think of work, phones, emails, you just get to enjoy the moment for real. I love that. There is not enough time in the world to spend doing only this, because, vacations end. But I do get filled up and love the inspiration and memories from this trip.

I've been taking thousands of photos for fun and I feel like my love for what I do is being refined. I can't wait to make a huge collage of Costa rica and make it a 40x60 canvas for our house. Remembering good times and being thankful for them. Today I talked to a local for a while during a surf session, and he was so nice, sharing his heart for his homeland, and how he gets to live here and surf every day. I guess I do the same talking to tourists who come to California. It made me appreciate where I live.
