Just a quick update from Costa Rica. We got here nearly a week ago, already, and have been enjoying spacious, windy, reflective days at the house by Lake Arenal. This place truly inspires reflection. It has been six and a half years since we were last here, when we were running BlueAcademy, and around 15 years since Ryan first found Lake Arenal. It has felt special to have this time to reflect on the time that has passed since then. Ryan has particularly enjoyed reconnecting with friends he made down here in those early years, windsurfing, and going on long runs. I have particularly enjoyed yoga with a view, every day, on the deck at the house; painting; practicing the violin; and visiting with those same friends. (We´ll post some photos of people next time.) There is something magical here, in this valley between volcanos, something charged riding on the wind. It is somewhat surreal, really.
Like I said, this is just a quick update. I will write again in the next week with some more illustrative photos.
Until then, be well!
Jess and Ryan

I can't believe I was within 20 miles of the house and never made it. Sometimes I can't pick the best ladies. Looks amazing. Pura Vida amigo and amiga

Yes, magical. Best memory there - seeing the volcano spewing from the guest room. Live it up on the Ring of Fire!
