Thanks to this past weekend’s deluge, we spent most of Saturday and Sunday inside–watching from our windows as brave souls battled torrential rains, frequently discarding spent umbrellas along the curb. And thanks to the yucky weather, we put together a travelogue about our recent trip to Costa Rica in record time. I feel particularly aware of how long and detailed this one is; sorry! We debated cutting it down to make it more readable, but know that we’ll enjoy having the detail for ourselves one day. If you’d like to read (or skim) the trip report, you can find it linked in the travelogues on the right or click here.

very cool trip! nice photos too. you've really inspired me to pay more attention to "the little stuff" and carry my camera with me more.
i've been to CR 3 times, but spent most of my time diving at cocos island which is 300 miles off the pacific coast and takes 1.5 days to get there by boat. anyhoo, i got the "cliff's notes" version of your trip. thanks for sharing.
p.s. if interested in seeing pics from cocos follow the yellow brick road to here…

Thanks Matt, We had a lot of fun! I'd love to go to Cocos someday. We thought about it for this time, but it was just a bit too far for this trip. All the more reason to go back.
I loved your report and loved your pictures. We have a place in Costa Rica not too far from Atenas and love to drive around the area. Chubascos is one of our favorite restaurants. How can you find the hot springs by the bridge? I'd like to go there.
Ashley, I do want to check out your full travelogue . . . but first I wanted to thank you for the great info on Paris. Obviously we are kindred spirits and FOOD is at the top of the list. I checked out design sponge (thanks for that link) and she/they had some great ideas. I've jotted down enough stuff to keep me busy for a year. I've also copied Dan Lepard's list of top ten Parisian bakeries.
BTW, my friend Elizabeth at The World Considering Works had a really funny post about broken umbrellas in NYC last week.
i love staying inside and looking out at the rain when it's crazy outside. but reminiscing about trips to gorgeous places is even better!
I came across your travelogue researching for my trip to Costa Rica. I would like to thank you for your insight and beautiful picture.
After CR, I will be in NYC in October, hopefully, you can provide me with some local advice.
Cheers from Vancouver, BC Canada – Sarah
So glad it was helpful! I can't wait to return.
