We are a Cornell University couple working in the field of plant sciences. Through various work-related trips, sabbatics, and vacations over the years, we fell in love with Costa Rica, and the Atenas region in particular. The weather is perfect ALL THE TIME. It's almost boring! Especially coming from upstate New York, which is a beautiful region too...in the summer. Rough winters!

Costa Rica is also interesting to us due to our work interests in biodiversity and agriculture. We hope to eventually retire to Atenas. Meanwhile we have to make do with frequent visits.

Here's pictures of us with our combined 4 kids (and guide) rafting on the Pacuare River!
