Enjoying Life in Gloucester Mass

Costa Rica Adventure – Buying Fish

Posted on by Manuel F. Simoes

Local Fishermen in Barra del Rio Colorado, come to the Lodge to sell fish, they present, gut it, and weigh it.  They take the gills and other parts, and eat them, especially the gills which they fry.

I was fortunate to spend 10 days in Costa Rica, staying at Silver King Lodge operated and Managed by Roseanne Cody of Gloucester.

 

 

I will be posting photos of life on the Rio Colorado (Brown Colored River)

Below are photos of a Lizard who likes to rest on a hammock and eat bugs.

Paint Factory Restoration – Progress on “E” Building

Posted on by Manuel F. Simoes

IMG_0285  Ian Kerr from Ocean Alliance takes notes on progress at the Paint Factory.

They have come a long way. Removed all the paint pasted to the floors, installed radiate heat in the floors, all new walls inside, carpeting, plumbing, yet maintaining as much of the original wood as possible.

See GMG Video on the beginning.

The “E” Building is becoming a love of hard work and dedication.

This will be one of Gloucester’s Pride Land Mark.

GMG will keep you posted on this project.

Below are some photos of the Progress:
