Yep, she took the plunge and fell in love with Costa Rica! La Doctura de la Johanna (Johanna's Doctor) Valerie Small decided to bring her two daughters to visit Costa Rica for awhile to relax until the girls had to go back to school. One daughter Fiona who is 18 yrs old is going into her second year of Medical school in Ireland - 18 yrs old and 2nd year of medical school - WOW! Her other daughter is Sinead who is 16 yrs old.
They stayed a couple of days at Johanna's house to get used to things before they headed out on their Costa Rica journey. The day came and the girls headed to Manuel Antonio. This is a resort town right on the Central Pacific Coast, and is one of my favorite places. Stef got them set up at a nice hotel near the beach along with a couple of excursions that they enjoyed. I think that they stayed about 3 days and had a great time.
They came back to Atenas to rest up a day or two before they headed back home. The night before they left, we had a dinner party at La Troja owned by our friend Frank. This turned into a pretty wild time and it was evident that Valarie started the whole thing. Take a look...
Seated around the table (left to right) are: Al, me, Stef, Amanda, Fiona, Sinead, Valarie and Jean. This is before the action started.
This is where Frank brought out his special booze and things got rocking. You notice how sober I still am.
These are our friends Jean and Al Alexander who are both still sober. Jean is a Landscape Architect from the New York area - she is very good at this and did the design for Woody Allen's Manhatten penthouse. Al is probably one of the best artists I have ever seen. You can see some of his work by going to his website at

Now, things are starting to get going..
Fiona - Valarie - Sinead
Valarie - Stef - Jean
Well Frank - he knows that his favorite bottle has a nice warming effect on his friends - take a look...
It was all over for Valarie
And the survivor is?
I think the girls had a great time in Costa Rica, and we will welcome them back anytime. Thank you Valarie, Fiona, and Sinead for becoming our new friends.
