Greetings from the beach

2009 started off in one of the most amazing ways...with my feet in the warm ocean, sand under my toes, and beautiful stars over my head.

We went to a party on the beach in Manuel Antonio - they had a DJ, fireworks, and some folks entertained us with a fire show. (this wasn't my first time entertained by a skilled pyrotechnic on NYE...is this common??) No fire breathing this time, though.

The best part of all of it though was just being able to comfortably have my bare feet in the water.
