Natural Beauty

The weather outside is frightful... I really mean it! It's been chilly and windy over here as well as pretty cloudy and I didn't bring enough clothes for this so I had to ask for a warmer sweater to help me get by. 


The weekend shopping was crazy because the stores were packed with people trying to be done on time which made me feel happy that I didn't have to worry about that because I got everything in the US online before coming here... ha!


Going out has been a bit of a challenge so I went outside with my nephews to take pictures of all the beautiful plants surrounding my parents condo building... hope you like them!


Hopefully this week we'll be able to go out to have some fun especially because my sister and her kids arrive in CR to spend the holidays in family.

Wish you a great Monday and that those who are behind on their shopping be done ASAP!

  5. Even with the weather you're getting, Costa Rica has to be pretty nice. We are enjoying glorious weather here in Phoenix right now but it's our reward for enduring the brutal summer. I better get out there and finish up that last bit of shopping I have left, thanks for the reminder.
