Then it's off to Puerto Rico! I initially planned to just live in Costa Rica, making a bit of money on the side and house sitting. Turns out, there is a better house sitting opportunity in Puerto Rico. I will be caring for a casita on the small island of Veiques just off the East shore of the main island. This is a free trade assignment that will end in September of 2012.
I have really enjoyed taking care of the chickens and dogs and property, taking in the beauty of Lake Arenal, the volcano, waking up to the sounds of howler monkeys, birds, bugs hissing, and roosters. I watch amazing lightning and thunder storms, see huge poisonous frogs, snakes dangling from trees, beautiful lush mountains and trees that line the road to town, people riding their horse on the dirt roads that lead to town, workers cutting crops with machetes and being in total isolation.
