I'm Arthur. Here I am living the dream. I'm an underwater photographer. I've been visiting some of the Cayes off of Belize, the reefs off of Honduras, and visiting Dive schools all over Central and South America and selling my photography work to tourists. There is nothing else I could realistically imagine myself enjoying as much as this.

I'm Arthur. Here I am living the dream. I'm an underwater photographer. I've been visiting some of the Cayes off of Belize, the reefs off of Honduras, and visiting Dive schools all over Central and South America and selling my photography work to tourists. There is nothing else I could realistically imagine myself enjoying as much as this.

At present I find myself in a very exclusive resort hotel on CR's pacific coast, feeling the same rush of excitement as I did last month when I pulled up into the Ritz-Carlton in South Beach. This place is called Sol Papagayo Resort. It's spectacular. The flower arrangements in the lobby alone were enough to inspire the artist in me to break out the camara.

My room here is SWEET. Incredibly swank, comfy and sumptuous. A breeze is coming in off the sea, making the white curtains dance. It's a call to the sea...beckoning me to delve to it's depths. Today would be the day to take her up on the offer, but I have arranged, through the help of hotel staff, to explore the rainforest canopy biodiverstiy... I hope to get some good photos in at sunset.

I plan on doing some water sports while on this trip. Reception told me that I have endless opportunities at my disposal. I spoke briefly with a guy that went windsurfing yesterday only a day after having taken beginners lessons. The breeze here is soft and constant and I am ready to venture onto the oceans surface and experience speed.

Kayaking is also available here. There are some estuaries that might just need some exploring. I am told that there are great photographs to be taken in the early morning hours when the egrets and other coastal birds are at their most active. Im told I have to time my kayak trek with the tides such that I will enter the estuary while the tide is rising, and head out while the tide goes out.

Recuperating now from a day's journey. One of many great adventures. But now I can think of no better place to just chill for a day than this tropical refuge. I will eat at the hotel's restaurant in a bit, and then cruise to the pool for a drink with what appear to be some pretty friendly folks.

I want to acknowledge the great work the staff here are doing at Sol Papagayo . I feel very safe and well cared for here. I also want to thank to visionaries behind all this. If it weren't for them I wouldn't be able to be so relaxed on this trip. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Costa Rica.
