DetMatt1 in the Caribbean

Ah...Costa Rica, been there also, and done that! Spend 4 months in the Army in the area of Golfito, way down on the south west peninsula, very nice, very nice, and, did I say very nice?
 
I may not leave if this place had all that!:rolling:There are only 2 bars on the island not in the workers village, where there are several more. This island is only about 1 mile by 3 miles, very small.:grin:
Am getting some work done, but things do move slowly down here.
Set off in the Mule after work for a swim on the Atlantic Ocean side of the island, a place called Macaroni beach, great place to play in the waves!:grin:. The house in the one pic is new since I have been here and I was told by one of my buddies, who works on the project that I am on full time, that it is 22,000 sq. ft., not bad for a vacation home right?. We left there and went to another part of the island on the Atlantic side that I had not been to since my first time here 4 years ago, I had forgotten how rugged some parts of this place really are, pics really don't do it justice.

Just kidding, a few sour grapes I guess! Does remind me of the Gold Coast on the east side of Australia though. Enjoy buddy!

Looks awesome Matt! You get to hang out with Jimi Hendrix on top of it! Live it up my friend.... Yo! ho! ho! and a bottle of Rum. If you wouldn't mind sailing back my 3 mast schooner, i'd appreciate it. Need to get new paint on it before the winter

Birthday in the Caribbean, NICE!!, but I do have to work tomorrow:mad:. I guess the good thing is that I will have sweated all the fruity rum drinks, G & Ts and the beer out of my system by the time I start working!!:rolling::rolling::grin:
 
Happy B-Day Matt U lucky bastard! Drink tons and party your *** off!

I survived my b-day and to celebrate I thought I would post a few pics that I thought would make you guys gelous:grin:. Some wildlife, the plane I fly in on, fishermens warf, Basil's Beach Bar and another one of my local friends aiming a 50 lbs jack hammer at me.:rolling::rolling:.
