"Christmas at Albacore My family and I have been living in Costa Rica for nearly 10 years. I was so excited to have all four of my kids visiting that I decided to make arrangements to have a few days off from work and made plans to take the family to the beach. I found Albacore on the Internet. It seemed perfect- right on the beach, fully equipped and with a private swimming pool, I couldn’t think of another thing we could possibly need. Arriving at the house around 12:45AM, we obtained the keys from the guard and were surprised, and very pleased, to find how big and beautiful the house was. The photos on the Internet had not nearly done it justice! Teri, the property manager, had thoughtfully left freshly baked bread from the panaderia, eggs, milk, coffee and fresh fruit so that we would be prepared for breakfast in the morning. She knew we would be arriving late and had thought to save us an early morning, hunger filled, trip to the supermarket. The house had everything we could possibly need! The kitchen was fully equipped with everything from a coffee maker to wine glasses and a corkscrew. Cutting boards, pots and pans, casual plastic dinner-ware for out by the pool and beautiful stoneware for the dining room- really, it seems that Paul and Pamela have thought of everything. There was a stereo in the living room, which we moved to the patio for our stay, a television equipped with a VCR and even a high-speed Internet connection! One day was spent relaxing around the pool, surfing and generally hanging out and having fun. The boys surfed a lot and we all napped, read, listened to music, swam, took long walks, ate and ate and ate some more. On Wednesday morning we decided to take the big blow up pool dinosaur (we brought this along for the pool- it didn’t come with the house) out to the waves. “Dyno” was a little worse for the wear when we got done, but it sure was fun and since he only cost ¢5000 (about $10), we didn’t care. Riding the dinosaur may have been the highlight of our trip. Ha ha.. just kidding. Actually, the highlight of our trip was our bonfire on the beach the last night there.. We gathered up drift-wood (which is abundant in Playa Hermosa) and dug a hole in the sand with the shovel we found in the storage shed. We placed the wood in the hole, laid out a blanket, broke out the guitar and spent the evening of the Winter Solstice (which was December 21st this year) singing songs around the campfire in front of the ocean under the stars- it was heavenly. What a great trip! We plan to make it a family tradition now that two of our family are away in the States and in another 2 years Jade and Dustin will also head for the US to do their graduate studies. We hope to stay at Albacore again someday- it was absolutely perfect. Thanks for the memories! Lynette, Alejandra, Derek, Dustin, Jade and Chase -and- Tobias and Edgar- who visited us during our stay.. "
