Love is everywhere in our Southern Zone of Costa Rica


This was the perfect last posting for our dear friend, Bonnie Davis Dipietro who co-created the amazing Alfombra Bird Sanctuary with her late and great husband, Arthur Dipietro.

Silani Wahlgren said it best:

In Memorium. Bonnie Dipietro flew like the birds she loved today into another dimension.

You will be missed Bonnie
