Spotted a pair of caimans in a pond this morning on my bike ride around Uvita
Met a guy from London named Peter who told me it was a mother and baby and he was feeding them bread
Typical dinner
Plantain fried in butter and tallow
Local grassfed steak with fresh chimichurri (purchased with sats directly from the farmers who cared for cow and harvested the animal)
Simple. Delicious. Nutritious

[pillar: movement & mind]
Challenge your balance everyday for at least 5 minutes
Make it playful, play some music, make it challenging enough that it keeps you engaged but not so hard that it’s frustrating
Movement benefit: recalibrates your entire lower body and offsets the effects of chair sitting and unnatural shoes
Mind benefit: improves your ability to focus and concentrate which is a superpower in the age of distraction
My training tool of choice: a balance beam from www.SoleFreedom.ca 🤙🏽

Nature on nature on nature
Every walk here in Costa Rica is like a journey into a magical world of natural beauty ruled by Mother Nature
Animal of the day:
Golden bellied fly catcher
I see these on my morning walks, the bright yellow bellies always catch my eye
DAY THREE [thoughts]
The days here feel super long
Sun rises around 0530 and sets around1800 consistently
Spacious days with lots of being make for full days that seem far longer than typical days
Soundtrack of insects, roosters and birds is a constant calming force for my nervous system
The biodiversity is incredible and everyday is an exploration to observe new plants and animals
This is the perfect experience to deeply reflect on the type of life we want to live as a family
Notable experiences from day 2:
- saw a vulture up close
- swimming with Willow
- sweaty outdoor meditation
- visiting Bitcoin Jungle office
- spending sats at Seguras
- tasting fresh local honey
- eating a Jocote straight off the tree
Highlight of the day:
- watching and listening to an intense afternoon jungle rainstorm, walking the garbage out to the street in my bathing suit, feeling the cool rain on my body
Low time preference jungle living on a #Bitcoin standard is a wonderful way of life

Animal of the day:
Scarlet Macaw
We saw these majestic avian creatures on our drive from Liberia to Uvita
The colours are so vibrant and pleasing to the eyes that they almost look fake

Marathon travel day (4am - 830pm) was a grind but worth waking up to birds and roosters this morning
Yesterdays travel:
1 hour car drive. Hudson -> Senneville -> YUL (thanks for the drive Dave ❤️)
6 hour plane ride (YUL -> LIR)
6 hour car drive from Liberia to Uvita (major accident delays, periods of monsoon style jungle rain that limits to 50km/hr)
Unpacked, put Willow to bed and got some tacos and enchiladas from Carlito’s
Bringing our own travel food so we can avoid the overpriced junk in airports
3 packs of ground beef cooked in tallow, salt and some taco seasoning
Nothing fancy but it’s nutrient dense, clean eats for our marathon travel day tomorrow

The calm before the adventure begins
