We're so glad that you enjoyed staying at Casa Verde. How lucky that you were able to spend a little more than three weeks at such a beautiful time of year. We were here in late October and early November working on the garden and the house. I imagine the weather was a whole lot better than it was in British Columbia. The end of the rainy season is so beautiful! We arrived here again shortly after your stay ended. Thank you for treading lightly on the house we love so much! The open concept of Casa Verde is a very important part of what we love so much about our house. We chose to build Casa Verde in this way because we love the out-of-doors and wanted to be able to experience the Costa Rican environment. We also knew that it was important to have protected areas for those occasions when the out-of -doors became a bit more than we wanted. Hopefully you found relief in our screened living room, screened kitchen, screened and air conditioned bedrooms or at the beautiful Tierra Pacifica pool. As coincidence would have it, at this very moment I am looking out at the monkeys you mentioned. This group has a number of very young ones and mamas with babies riding on their backs. So amazing! Also, after walking back from this morning's yoga class at the Tierra Pacifica club, we found a whole bunch of holes dug in our lawn. It appears that an armadillo came around last night while we were sleeping and was burrowing for grubs and other tasty morsels. We must be in Costa Rica. Pura Vida! Oh, and yes, our property manager, Georgina, is wonderful. Again, thank you for staying at Casa Verde. We hope to see you again. Eric and Martha (owners of Casa Verde)
