This would be even more diving if we had heirloom tomatoes. Still, the double cream buffalo mozzarella makes this a dish of sweet decadence.

Slice tomatoes, add some chopped basil to each tomato, then top with the cheese. Drizzle some olive oil and balsamic vinegar to take this to the top!

Our good friend Tom Clark took Heather and I out to the salt flats, near Wendover, NV on Tuesday afternoon for a photo shoot. I just wanted to share a few of them with you:

Changing Directions

2009-07-21T16:18:00.000-07:00

If you look at the date of the previous blog entry, you'll know that its been a while since our latest update. The reason for this is because we've had to change directions in our life, and its been difficult dealing with the reality of that.

The three months we spent in Costa Rica were probably the most difficult times we've spent together and by the end of it, we discovered that we needed to put our tropical life on hold and go back to Utah.

There are many complicated reasons for our decision, which was not an easy one to make. Most of our reasons, we would rather not publish online. All that is necessary to say right now, is that there was a lot that we didn't anticipate and things just didn't work out for us.

The good news is that we're back in a familiar place where we can communicate easily and we're close to friends and family. Now we need to figure out what we're going to do with ourselves and think about jobs and school. Our loft is rented out until April of next year, so we're in a new little place by Memory Grove. We're close to downtown SLC and lots of hiking trails. Shardul is happy in his new home. We have some ideas on what we want to do in the future and we'll post updates on our latest musings and adventures. As of right now, there is still furniture and belongings to move around and a bit of reverse culture shock to wring out of our systems. After our place is put together, we'll post pictures. Check back soon!

At around 7:00 am, we dropped off our friends at the bus station in Guatuso. It was sad parting, but I think they were ready to continue their journey North. Heather was meeting her sister in Guatemala in the next few days and I know she was very excited about that.

The house seemed rather quiet and empty with them gone, so we decided to go for a walk. After a turn down the road, we came to the river. There wasn't much of a swimming hold there, but we got in anyway and refreshed ourselves in the cool water for a little while.

On our way back home, we ran into a farm worker who was very happy to show us all the animals on the land that he worked. After our little tour, we went back home and got ready for our dance class next door.

Today we started to introduce ourselves as Anna and Jose. We think this will help people remember us and they will be able to pronounce us much easier. Ann is my middle name so it fits. We introduced ourselves to Eduardo's mother this way as we stopped in at the market, and we also told people at the dance class to call us this.
