SO I want to clarify and maybe Laurel you can tell me what you're talking about--this is not an eco-resort. It is a sustainable community farm. We bathe in the river most of the time and didn't have internet until today. We eat what is grown or raised here and go to town once a week to get things not produced here.
Eco-resort to me would have some recreational things to do, no bugs, glass windows, etc. The boys' room doesn't even have screens.
Okay, we do have a stove, fridge, flush toilets, electricity, hot water in the shower, a washing machine. I haven't worn a bit of makeup since arriving in CR. Ethan said to me today, "Mom, we haven't taken a shower yet." But I reminded him that he washes with biodegradable soap in the river.
It's raining right now as it does in the afternoons. the boys kicked my butt at War. I'm waiting to use the kitchen to cook dinner. If you have any exciting rice and bean recipes send them my way. The Internet is too slow to pull up websites. I can't post my pics until we get to the city--where I'll have hi-speed internet and cafe con leche. I have to admit the coffee is sooo good here.
SO the boys comments that I forgot to add to the other post:
Aaron, "fun, awesome, love it, especially swimming in the river, mango"
Ethan, "not so crazy about the bugs or the food--except for mango and empanadas are delicious, like the rain, fishing, swimming in the river, don't like working in the field; loves working with the machete."
