February Slipping Away in our Beloved Southern Zone of Costa Rica


Bless the Bees & the Sunflowers

Lately I've been feeling thankful for every flower and every bee and every butterfly that crosses my path.

To live in such extreme beauty is a gift beyond measure.

We had some glitches with our website server last week ... but hopefully is back in order. Please do check any announcements or ads you have ... we really want to keep everything as up to date as possible. Many thanks.

Remember too, that Colibri's Corner stays open now until 8 pm on Thursdays and Fridays we are there for sure from 10 til 1 ... often earlier.

This weekend is the annual Chirripo Mountain Race ... good luck to all the participants!

The famous and infamous Envision Festival takes place this Thursday thru Sunday just north of Envision ... blessings to all!

This, the last Friday of February, will be another wonderful lunch with Carol's Club and guest speaker, Alex Zuniga ... our Snake Expert! Check with Carol if any places have opened up. See our events page for more info.
