Southern Costa Rica
7/27/2011
As I write this, I’m laying in a hammock overlooking the jungle from Tim and Robin’s place. There are various trees as far as the eye can see with monkeys and toucans in them as

The past two weeks (and two days), Lisa and I have been in Southern Costa Rica on the Osa Peninsula. We came down here to meet Perlman and Paolo ...
