I'mmmm back!

Yes, back in sunny Costa Rica. There is a most intoxicating perfume in the air tonight as soon as the sun went down. I am enjoying this night ....so much....I am always a bit reluctant when packing to come here, leaving family at the holidays, leaving Cal, leaving my little cottage by the sea and the gardens too. Tonight was a really nice welcoming of tapas at Pat & Willy's "hacienda" (I love the layout of their home, open one side to the gardens and green vistas), anyway, nice get-together of artists and long term residents (12). The weather of course today was glorious, and I succeeded to unpack and find a place for everything, realizing what I have forgotten to pack as well, I thought I packed so much stuff, but now less than I thought and still overweight and carrying an extra suitcase. I'll make do for 3 months...I think I brought the things I can use in my art, and excited to start this year's series of art making.. I am sooooo hooked up with technology too this year, the Iphone, the computer, the (gift) of my BOSE wireless speakers (awesome), a printer, the tablet, the x hard drive, do ya think I have enough to play with? Along with all my works to do on paper....OMG wish me luck...The speakers are soooo cool, and now have to recharge it, I played it so much today, and I forgot the charger in RI...shit! I finally got the colony printer to work to, it's been a troubleshooting day. I also went to do grocery shopping and at the counter I did not have any money, ya, I forgot money! I had to borrow some from Carlos, friend from colony here, geesh. A bit mixed up today and I will blame it on the altitude (4000 ft), not atittude...lol, I am on a mountain high, what can I say!  December 6th- February 28th, 2011
