Escape to Tamarindo

Updated: Feb 28, 2021

We did it! We finally left our condo and ventured out on a trip! Four glorious days in Tamarindo. This was our first trip but will definitely not be our last! The weather cooperated and we have 4 very pleasant days. I was prepared for the oppressive heat and humidity but instead we had fairly hot days but cooling a bit toward the evening and a refreshing ocean breeze. Our condo had air (of course) but during the time we were inside I found it freeezing @ 72 and had to turn it up to 77 or 78 otherwise I had to wrap myself up to stay warm.







there were selfies being made!


Best laid plans...Before we left, I decided that this would be an excellent time to film a few videos and catch you all up on what's been going on. To that end I purchased a small ring light (ring lights are great for photos and they also make good lighting for video as well). I planned to use the new light for night video recording instead of dragging my larger one.


Unfortunately, I did not test it out before we left and once we got to Tamarindo and I got it set up, we discovered that it was flimsy and poorly made. If the outward appearance didn't convince us, the final video recordings certainly did. When I played back our discussion, the lighting on our black faces was a total failure!! However, by then it was too late, so we had to go with what we had. I lightened us up as much as I could and then I separated the audio from the video of us and did the best I could with the lighting.

We drove through part of the section where the "people" live but didn't spend any time there. Next time. We have spoken to some other expats (and had dinner with a couple of exptas) in the area and they really like it. I think I would live there if it wasn't so hot! Totally enjoyed ourselves tho.
