B and B Grecia….new partners!

So here we are almost the middle of February in Costa Rica in the Central Valley in a city called Grecia. A long way from Little Corn Island in both distance and time. We have become the proud new partners in B and B Grecia! Can you believe it? I am still getting my feet on the ground and digesting the news. I am really happy and excited about the adventure! It has almost been 1 year since we left Canada and it feels like we are where we are supposed to be. Please visit our website at http://www.bandbgrecia.com/ and we are working on updates and new information. We have been pretty occupied running tours to coffee plantations, canopy adventures and waterfall forest trekking. We also have a full house at the moment and it will be pretty steady for the remaining of February.
We are both looking forward to staying here in Grecia. The people, views and and atmosphere is really welcoming and feels really good.
Karl has been keeping busy with his projects of building butcher block tables and I have been organizing things here at the B and B and getting to know more of the area and the people. Our project here is to host people that are travelling through as well as to provide a place to come and enter into an immersion program for learning Spanish and staying in a homestay family with also a possibility of volunteering. We think that Grecia is a perfect place to work on this project. It is a small enough city that you can easily walk to everywhere and have the opportunity to practise what you are learning in your Spanish class with your family and the people in the park and in the stores. Everyone is always anxious to stop and talk and learn more about you!

Pretty big news that is keeping us occupied which feels really good also! We hope to hear from everyone and also to see you also!

Hasta luego! Monika

Ca fait un petit bout que je n avais pas écrit un petit message. Et oui nous sommes partenaire au bandbgrecia.com depuis une semaine maintenant, comme Monika dit je ne fais pas que construire des tables je m occupe aussi de faire des tours, plantation de café, chute magnifique, jardins, volcan, etc. entretien, achat, en gros Monika fait de l argent et moi je la dépense …….
Ca fait du bien d avoir notre propre place et je pense qu on réalisera quelque chose de fantastique ici a Grecia. Les possibilité sont énorme autant pour l hospitalité et l immersion dans une famille typique du Costa rica que pour l apprentissage de l espagnol, découverte et aventure .Nous travaillons présentement a trouver d autres familles capable de recevoir des gens en immersion et de développer le marche anglophone http://www.harmoniacasa.com/ jouera un rôle dans l immersion et apprentissage d espagnol au costa rica et au Nicaragua alors SVP allez faire un tour sur notre site de temps en temps.
Saludos
Karlitos
