Here are some other fairies who decided to join our fairies for breakfast. These fairies decided to eat leaves and coffee beans, Fairy1 and Fairy2 did not. After our meal we headed to Nosara for some farewells.
This is Robin from Robin's cafe. She had the best ice cream, crepes, and awesome healthy food. We ate at her cafe more than any other. Fairy1 skyped from her cafe several times. Robin was being bashful in the picture when I told her what it was for. She was honored to be on our family blog.....very modest.
Joanne owns the Zen Cafe. We discovered he place about a week after our arrival. She had only been in business for a week and really had it all put together. She served up all kinds of yummy fresh juices and raw treats. On Wed nights she has Indian night....for those of you not aware, the fabulous 4 love Indian food. Joanne was super friendly and full of life.
Nelson was Fairy1's first surf instructor. By the end of our trip he had her walking on her board, surfing backwards and doing other tricks. She thinks surfing is her "thing". Fairy1 fell in love with surfing with the help of Nelson.
Eventhough we fell in love many times over on our trip, I think Nelson wins the prize (Fairy1 agrees). He has a smile that could warm NH up in a second. He made us laugh while we surfed and when we had to say goodbye he made us cry. We can't wait to see him next Nov!
Since we didn't get a picture of Oscar the fairies thought we should post this picture of his nose print he left on our car window. One day Oscar greeted Fairy2 by smooshing his face on her window and every time we got into the car she said "look there is Oscar's nose". Oscar was a total comedian. Always entertaining. He was also a very skilled instructor and helped MomT over come her fear of getting past the break zone. MomT had a lifelong phobia of big crashing waves and he guided her in conquering this fear. Thanks Oscar!!!
Kristen was our Art teacher. She grew up in Mass and moved to Costa Rica 3 years ago. She kept the kids fully engaged for the 2 or 3 hours of class. Twice a week the kids went to class to create a unique masterpiece. So nice to have art classes on vacation.
To all of our spanish teachers we give you a big GRACIAS! MomT enjoyed asking how to say things in spanish while shopping for food. Whenever she asked it was always reciprocated with the question on how to say it in english.
It would take me weeks maybe even months to list all of the people who touched our hearts. DadD and MomT agree that the best part of our trip was how comfortable and loved our children felt in Costa Rica. There was not one moment when our children were frowned upon for being kids, children are cherished jewels in this country. As Fairy1 put it "the people don't have much but they are happy".
After our trip to Nosara Fairy2 had her last playdate with her little friend. She gave Fairy2 a little shell to take home and Fairy2 gave her friend a fish bone she found on the beach and a card.
FYI This is the fruit which gives us our favorite food group...cocoa! It looked like a cross between a squash and a papaya.
Last night at the casita. We loved eating outside and knew soon we would not be able to do so, well not without getting frost bite.
Off to bed early for our trip home the next morning.
