Costa Rica - I could get used to this!

Costa Rica is still a "third world" country although more prosperous. NO Wal-Marts out here, thank heaven. The Costa Ricans have a strong environmental movement in this neighborhood to keep the Americans, the Germans, and the Chinese from messing up the place with Wal-Marts and huge hotels. This is the view from the second storey of the house at which we're staying. Notice, no big mansions of the rich obstructing the view. The house from which I took this photograph belongs to an ancient pal I used to play music with at Notre Dame. There are things like size limits on buildings to preserve the views everyone has from the mountainsides.

See you next week!

I could get used to this.
Love, David

Hello to everyone from 90-degree surf, pelicans, leisure. But . . . to get here was sixty miles of dirt roads and confusion. It's worth it.
