Living in Costa Rica for a month has been a journey so far. Ironically paradise isn't always pleasant, which is what I learned this week. Lucky for us, we also learned that things are as-big-of-a-deal as you make them. So, Pura Vida! While we dealt with mold in the apartment, getting bullied by monkeys, and being wiped off a banana boat, we still found reasons to smile and love the life we live.
