What a beautiful island paradise! The ocean is lovely, the coconuts are fresh, and the rum is strong, but the people are special, too! Everyone was so welcoming and happy to smile for a photo! There is also so much culture to absorb, everything from dancing and village life to making pearls and chocolate, it was all fascinating.

“You will never be completely at home again because part of your heart will always be elsewhere. That is the price you pay for the richness of loving and knowing people in more than one place.” ~Miriam Adene

Vinaka, Fiji. Until we meet again.

Pura Vida. Pure Life. It’s not just a motto in Costa Rica; it’s a way of life. Be happy and positive every day. Don’t stress about things so much. Live life to the fullest.

Sounds good to me.

Until next time, Costa Rica … Pura Vida!
