Feliz Navidad, Gringos

As Indy gets dumped on with snow, we are sailing away from Puntarenas, Costa Rica.  The national motto here is “Pura Vida”—Pure Life.  We’ll toast to that.

We do hope Santa was good to you and yours.  As a warm up to the big event, we spent Christmas Eve in Ecuador.  First, we took this bus in town to the market.


What should have been a twenty-minute ride took 45 because there was a musical band of 10-year old boys on the top, who played two songs over and over. We took a cab home.

Then we went to a school for low-income kids, where we watched their Christmas pageant and handed out little gifts.  Not sure who had more fun.

 











Eventually, we made it to CR Christmas Day.  If you’re looking for a new holiday tradition, we suggest ziplining in the pouring rain (with thunder booming in the background) through a rainforest. Seriously.

Pura Vida!
