Celebrating Love & Friendship Day in our Magnificent Southern Zone of Costa Rica


​Thanks to Dolly Brar for this amazing, author unknown photo!

Welcome New Subscribers & Loving Pura Vida Greetings to All.

Here's a note from Jack Ewing of Haciendo Baru on the Costanera:

  • It sure seemed like it rained a lot in January this year, but I just finished tabulating the Hacienda Barú rainfall for January 2018 and updating the rainfall chart for the last 37 years. We began keeping records in 1981.

  • This January was above average for rainfall, but nothing spectacular. The average rainfall for January over 37 years has been 72.9 mm. This year is was 111.3 mm. There have been 8 years when the January rainfall was more than this year. The highest ever was 1991 with 225.6 mm, more than double January 2018. JACK Ewing

Just had two very good experiences with Juan the Repairman! Fixed my freezer & refrigerator, and also does air conditioners, stoves, etc. Call Juan @ 6021-2817 or 8864-5037.

For those who enjoy tobacco .. we now have two kinds of organic natural tobaccos .. some from here and some from Argentina.

Perfect day to highlight our good friend Tao, at Samaritan Chocolate in Canaan!

And we want to welcome back to our area, the very lovely Helen Castillo ... click here to see her website!
