Costa Rica in Winter!

Everybody goes south in the winter, right?IMG_2984
OK. I live in Florida – sunshine, white beaches, and warm weather. But it’s winter so, like everyone else – I went south. For me, ‘South’ was Costa Rica at the Peace Lodge. For someone who makes a living with words, I can’t seem to find the ones to describe this place. A picture is worth a thousand they say, so I’ll let these do the talking. Suffice to say, I wish everyone could have a hummingbird eat from their hand, under the rain forest canopy, listening to a 150 foot waterfall, and look up to see clouds (I was REALLY high in the mountains) rolling beneath me up the slope of a volcano. I did take my laptop and worked some each day on the new book. Back to Italy next month where I hope to finish!
