There was no schedule for Granny and I today here at 4 Corners Corcovado Beach Lodge here in Costa Rica. It was our first “do whatever” day since we got here a week ago. Granny and I still got up early, not 4:30 AM but rather 5:15. We cherished our coffee and listened to the … Read more
Granny and I have been up at 4:30 every day this week here at 4 Corners Corcovado Beach Lodge. It’s been awesome. During winter in the US we tend to miss sunrises while hibernating from the cold. Not here. Here you can’t help but wake up the minute the birds and the howler monkeys start … Read more

We started our Murray cod fishing early today. We got up at 4:20 AM and were unlocking a gate before 5. Its late spring here in the bush of Australia and the birds were singing.
