When Animals Attack – Costa Rica Edition – Part 2

After the bed bug fiasco I was moved into the new tree house cabana on the property.  This is hands down the coolest place I have slept during my entire eight months on the road. While it is supposed to be rustic it feels like luxury accommodations for me. Mind you this is coming from a woman who has slept in a tent in -302498309 degree weather on top of a mountain and on a straw mat on a floor so anything better than that would seem like a nights stay at the Waldorf Astoria.

Is it difficult to be genuinely nice?

Have you ever known a person who blamed all of their problems on someone else? Smack dab in the middle of what could be classified as paradise I am in the midst of a few people who I am going to label “Serial Complainers”.

You’ve all been around this person at one point or another.  They have problems and it’s never their fault. Continue reading →
