Cherishing the Amazing Southern Zone of Costa Rica


Last week was the first time in years that I didn't send out a Vine ... and it was very heartwarming to hear from so many of you who missed it. I want to thank our amazing Computer Fixer Dude, Ivan Herrera, for making my computer sing again and keeping me sane!

There's a meeting (in Spanish) in Costa Ballena today (Wednesday, June 15th) regarding the upsurge of Dengue & other mosquito borne diseases that you do not want to get! Please take precautions around your property and your person to avoid this at all costs!

Next Monday is the Summer Solstice ... check out our Events page for a wonderful activity that day at Montana Verde near Rivas ... and lots of other fabulous events for all ages and interests.

There's a wonderful dog needing a new home (check Furry Friends page)

Also ... Husky / Malamute Puppies almost weaned ... frisky & fun & healthy for sale. Call 2770-2884. No photos yet.
