We went to Costa Rica!
In real-time, we’re almost settled in at the Canal Cottage for another season. But we took a detour on the way from our Oregon home, spending a couple of weeks in the land of Pura Vida.
Pura Vida, the country’s motto, translates literally as ‘pure life’ but in Costa Rica it means even more. People say it often as a greeting or, I think, just a quick way to say ‘things are good here!’ In our (too brief) experience that’s very true.
The travel- planner of the family (above) did his usual magic arranging this long-time travel bucket list destination in a way that totally lived up to our expectations.
Bill does all the planning — I take the pictures. Except not even that sometimes. Our birding guide in Monte Verde took this through his spotting scope after I looked through in complete delight!
Lots more pictures to share in future posts, which I sincerely hope will be very soon, now that I’ve almost figured out again how to do this blogging thing.
