A yurt? We are not cold weather people, but we do move around quite often. It seemed appropriate to try a yurt for our new home in Costa Rica. I hope this site will help people who are considering the same thing. I searched the web for yurt living in tropical climates but I found very little information. So as we take on this adventure, we'll document what it's like to help you with your decision to live in a HOT yurt.
Note about the Posts: Yurt Living posts have specific updates about the yurt. Family Update posts are for the grandparents. You are welcome to read either. Pre-2011 posts are just travel posts.

Yurt Living: The pics of the land before the yurt
Here are three photos of the property. The first one is what the property looked like before cutting down anything. It is just pure jungle and we want to keep as much as possible, but you do have to cut some down to be able to set up a home in there. The second picture is the section where we plan to put the yurt and a garden. The rest of the rainforest on our property is still there so don't worry. We also plan to plant plenty of trees since we had to cut some down. The third picture is our view from down low. It should get even better once we get the platform up. We can't do anything right now because we are waiting for all the paperwork to pass all the legalities to begin construction. Luckily, here in costa Rica, a yurt is just considered a tent, so we really only need permission for the platform, garage, and whatever else we decide to do. We are awaiting arrival of the yurt and in the next post, I'll list all the options we put on our yurt.
