Along the beach will be an area of additional restaurants, shops, and fun. Here the buildings will be simple, beachy, single-story affairs. Inland from there in ...

I had a remarkable stay at the Podere Spedalone last week. This is an "agritourismo", farm stay B&B place near Pienza, in Tuscany. It is a modestly priced place with a capacity of about 30 people. The building is old, and cool, but not fancy. It may have originally been a barn or some other ...
From early on one of my prime fantasies about Las Catalinas has been delicious tropical evening strolls down pedestrian streets, through a variety of plazas, past beautiful architecture. Sort of like one might do in Venice, or Pienza, except tropical. Well, we are getting there. Here are some shots ...

One of the cool things about the Guanacaste beach area where Las Catalinas is located is that there are so many wonderful places to visit within nearby striking distance. Last week I got to do a road trip with two of my children, Bob Davey, and two of his children. This is my report.

I prefer to take that as a compliment for the town, not an insult to the website... Anyway, I am certain that this batch of ...
It was a beautiful holiday season at Las Catalinas. With large portions of our beachfront park complete, we had more visitors than ever enjoying the beaches. Here is the view from the upper deck of the nearly complete restaurant across the beachfront park.
Captain McHenry, yours truly chasing.. For nine years I have been longing for access to small sailboats to sail in the beautiful waters off of Las Catalinas. My wish has finally come true. The Costa Rica Sailing Center opened earlier this summer in Potrero, just a few minutes drive or a bike ride ...
I know I've said this before, but I can't help repeating myself. It is just sooo nice here in Las Catalinas this time of year. People from more northerly latitudes typically (and reasonably) think "Wow - it is hot where I am. It must be really hot down in the Costa Rica." Well, not so. Mornings are ...
