6/25 - 7/14 Nosara

Half way through our time in Nosara.... This town is great (thanks to both Molly and Kate for the recommendation to set up shop here). It's been the perfect place to slow ourselves down a bit as we transition into the year.

We rented this cute little studio apartment just off the main strip in town. Our days are scheduled by the tide charts and yoga class schedule (well, Nader would prefer that Allison wasn't scheduling the days at all but it's a start!). Allison's been spending a few hours each day up at the Tree Tops studio of the Nosara Yoga Institute. Gazing through your downward dog at monkeys in the trees while the sun sets is a pretty sweet way to end the day.

Nader's been rocking it on the surf board and Allison has caught the bug too. She finally decided to rent her own board yesterday. It's pink and really cute. The waves here are perfect for learning.

That's about all there is to report.... Surfing, yoga, reading, sleeping. Definitely chill.

Oh, on the topic of reading -- as we listened to the fireworks last night and reflected on celebrating July 4th in a foreign country we found ourselves yet again discussing a book that we both just recently read. American Vertigo by Bernard Henri-Levy. If you have a chance, we highly recommend checking it out. He does an amazing job of painting all that is good and bad about the U.S. It helped me (Allison) frame my own views about what I feel about being an American in this world as I travel through it.
