There are times when everything just comes together- and yesterday was one of those days. As many of you know, I LOVE my birthday and tend to make a very, very, very big deal about it. But this year, I decided to be more laid back about it all. Just to see what would happen…
Here’s what came together:
- a zip line tour of the jungle canopy
- a swim in a waterfall pool (I was too much of a chicken to jump from the top of the waterfall, but I did jump from halfway up. Matt jumped from the top!)
- a long nap in the hammock (referred to as hammocking here at Hotel La Cascada)
- watching Jeremy (the director of La Escuela Del Sol), his wife, Andrea and their friend Amanda all spin poi (fire dance) on the beach
- a fantastic Italian dinner with new friends, arranged by my lovely husband and Guillermo, the most connected man in Montezuma
- a night of salsa dancing at Chicos, here in Montezuma
Our friend Will summed it up as a very “serendipitous birthday”. I think he’s right.
Pura vida, everyone!


Hey Birthday Buddy! I just came back to work from my week off. It felt good to be off. I did a lot of running around but got some rest as well. I feel great. I got a chance to look at your slides. I am so glad you are having the time of your life. You look great. I love you and miss you. Hope to hear from you soon. Stef and Matt- You Rock! Lol.
Sounds like a great day! Happy birthday
