Reasons Why Zaylie (and other friends and family) Should Still Visit us in Costa Rica (despite the snakes and scorpions)

by Sam and Maeve

1. There are no jellyfish in the ocean that is only 5 minutes away.
2. There are monkeys (very friendly) chattering outside our windows every day and coatis (very friendly) squeaking around the yard.
3. There are colourful birds (parakeets, trogons, magpie jays, hummingbirds) flying everywhere.
4. There are the most delicious pineapples and mangoes you've ever tasted.
5. There are the most amazing waves to jump in. And we have a bodyboard and you have to try it! 
6. You can canyon down a waterfall just past our front yard.
7. We can ride horses on the beach together.
8. We could go on a sloth hunt in the cloudforest together.
9. At dusk, bats and dragonflies put on a daily acrobatic show while we watch from the deck.
10. You can splash in our mini pool every day and read in the hammocks at the top of the tower.
11. There is a friendly cat at the Beach Dog Cafe (and no evidence of street cats so it's not too sad.)
12. We really want to do a Wild Cats of Costa Rica project with you.We could research them all and go tracking them and maybe make a poster map of them (and make copies of them to sell and give the money to sanctuaries!!!)
13. We can make beach art together and take pictures of it to put in a book.
14. You can have beans and rice for breakfast every day.
15. One of the largest nesting grounds of Olive Ridley Sea turtles is just 20 minutes away and seeing it is one of the most spectacular wildlife experiences that could ever be had!
