Racing through the past.

Guillermo visited the site for the first time a few days after we agreed to work together on this project, at the end of November. He flew to CR to visit some of his other projects, and then made it out to Nosara to visit EE-25.

In preparation for his visit, I needed the land cleared. Actually, cleaned, leaving all trees with trunks over 6 inches thick. For this, I called Ashley White, of Nosara Real Estate. I met her last time I was in Costa Rica. Another agent from the Realty office had been very helpful in tracking down the title to my land, appraising its value, and offering candid advice as to what to do with it. That agent, Josh Lepree, left Costa Rica, but Ashley White has been very helpful in his place, giving me information about loans, recommendations about building goals and values, and connecting me with local services. This time, she connected me with her husband, who cleaned from the road down about 6 meters, along the southern boundary of the property for 175.

Guillermo got there in the daylight, and watched the sun go down on the land. He got up early the next morning to see the morning break over the land also. Very thorough and much appreciated. He thought the land had great possibilities and started in with ideas.
