VISION QUEST

Its all happening!   I am now headed for a week-long adventure down in Costa Rica.  I chose (somewhat arbitrarily) Del Mar Surf Camp as my home base, and I'm pretty impressed with what they've set up for me so far.  They provide breakfast, lunch and dinner at this place, a daily surf lesson with someone named Walter, daily yoga and personalized tours of the town and jungle with my very own hosts David and Yorgina.  Throw in a massage mid-week and I'm good.  I've never been the biggest yoga-enthusiast, but I think taking an hour every day to decompress/recalibrate will be healthy for me. The only thing this place can't provide is scuba diving...but I was able to find a local dive shop 12 miles a way so should be able to get some dives in early on in the week. Fingers crossed conditions will be good enough for a night dive too - one of my hands down favorite experiences ever.

Overall, Delmar has done a bangup job of structuring the week, but still giving me plenty of downtime to go with the flow out there. It'll be refreshing to spend 9 days on a minimalist's schedule and see where this adventure takes me.
