Costa Rica helped us identify happiness in a way that we usually take for granted. That is our greatest take away and the biggest gift from our recent visit.

I share more on that in Happiness, Tico Style: Adventures in Costa Rica.

Below are some of the images that we captured along the way.

    Great shots! I am always amazed by the amount of wildlife you can see when you travel. I'm so used to seeing it all in a zoo. Travel really is where we find our happiness as well. Something about exploring and learning together. Plus all of that undivided attention we can give the kids with out the normal household distractions and chores. Thanks for sharing your trip with us!

    @ walkingon travels:

    Thank you! I think that is what I love the most. Just the ability to be there and present all the time : ) It's truly worth all of it just for that!

Sometimes I find country living too different and Sometimes I find country living too different and unsuitable. But then I have days that exhaust me. Or I am riddled with anxiety and uncertainty - a common theme for me as of late. Or just need to clear my head. Then I find the country to be the best medicine. Maybe it’s the crisp cold air. Or the soothing of the rushing glen. Or the sound of the ravens nesting nearby. Or the soft, cushy moss under my feet. Whatever it is, I am so grateful even when it all feels so unsure. I know this is pretty lucky.

After the rain, this is the sound as the sun sets: After the rain, this is the sound as the sun sets: the song of what seems to be a thousand peepers and the water rushing from the glen down the 100 foot waterfall right in front of our little country cottage. 

As much as I still love the noise of my NYC, this wasn’t a bad trade off. ❤️

Now is the perfect time to visit the Finger Lakes if you enjoy waterfalls. Through mud season and again during the rainy days of fall these waterways are the most active and beautiful. 

One of the many reasons we love our home in this stunning region.
