BABY HAWK ON THE HUNT

Costa Rica Cost of Living:  Sky Satellite Television with many English speaking programs- $35/month

For the past few days we noticed a baby hawk swooping across the field in front of our house. Although a little cross eyed and with wings too big for his body, he is slowly learning how to fly.  He awkwardly glides from tree to tree and occasionally dives into the grass for the mouse that always seems to get away. It will just be a matter of time until he is successful.

There is no better way to start my morning then with a cup of coffee watching my new flying friend.  Soon he will leave but I will remember him like he is today, cross eyed and clumsy, hunting for that ever elusive mouse.

    Wonderful blog! Followed it from your comment at HP. Travel extensively, went to CR 2 years ago and cried at the airport when it was time to return (only time that has ever happened). You are living our future…

    Pura Vida!

    I’m really happy that I found your blog. I saw your comment on PG about Palin. I have thought about CostaRica for quite awhile but fear does stop me a bit. I’m going to read every post of yours and may have a question or two for you. I hope you don’t mind.
    I’m very happy for you that you have found a good life for yourself.
    The culture here is scaring me. I’ve never seen people so polarized. It’s amazing people there are asking you about Palin. I’ve followed the Palin blogs since she was VP candidate and she and those like her are really having a negative effect on our country.
    I will be back!!!

    This is bar none one of the best blogs I have read in a long time and I have been reading blogs for over 10 years.

    You are blessed with the ability to write well.

    I have bookmarked your site and look forward to getting more on your adventures in Costa Rica.

    Con gusto (my favorite Spanish expression),

      Thank you for visiting my site! I try to give honest information about living here and what some of the costs are compared to the states. So far it’s been a positive experience and I am looking forward to many more years exploring this country. After three years, I’m almost used to the big bugs. Almost
