Reminder of Where I Am Living
Some friends from Calgary, Alberta have recently been visiting, reminding me of where I am from and where I am now. Trying to be the good host, I have arranged some tours for them and have driven them to different places as well. Which has proved to be very interesting.
Interesting in the fact that I have been reminded of where I am living. On a recent drive for coffee on the beach, the advertising used by a local artist in Atenas was the topic of discussion for several kilometers.He paints traditional scenes on rocks along the sides of the rad and the occasional rock will have his name and phone number. We found this way more attactive than the usual signs and billboards.
During the drive, the various shades of green were commented on constantly, as well as the varity of plants and the incredible view. Of course we stopped at the 'Crockodile Bridge', whcih provided ample opportunities for many photos.

On our return tripto Alajuela, we stopped at the original destination. I don't know the nbame of the little restaurant but it is right on the beach and marked by a 'Pepsi' sign. Having a cup of coffee here took an hour! It is amazing howwatching and talking about the water, the small fishing boats and the pelicans that sit on the boats can pass time so quickly.
As we passed through Atenas on the way home, we stopped at a house where orchids are sold. The variety matches most nurseries and the prices were comparable. This stop did cause a minor problem, "Which plant(s) to buy." I mean an orchid for $10 that can be replanted outside after the current flower dies. Is like, so cheap.
During this day trip and after we returned to my house, one of the words that was used often was "envious".
Yes, I was reminded once again that I do live in a paradise.
