Costa Rica Rewind Part 2

We have arrived at Pura Vida Wellness Retreat and Spa

Rememeber...
...saying "Hablo Espanol un poquito" (I speak a little Spanish) and the Pura Vida director/guide at the airport took this to mean we were fluent, so off to the Spanish races we went. We resolved to just say "no" next time.
...the stick shift, bumpy drive through tiny streets where everyone had the "right of way"
...our new friend, Kim (below), we met on the ride to Pura Vida, who does "hard core yoga" (a bit of a contradiction in terms, que no?)













...our new BFF, Jorge, who graciously gave us a room with a ridiculous view and a nice rub on the back. Oh, and remember our Dirty Dancing moment when we stumbled upon his, the staff's, living quarters (hee hee)










...our wonderful first meal (of many we had this week) in the tranquil dining area, and an interesting Body Talk workshop/demonstration with Katia, one of the therapists.
...but mostly, I just want to remember to be thankful.

Pura Vida!







P.S. When I wrote this journal entry, I weaved my writing around our "Bienvenidos/Welcome" name tag sticker we received at the airport. I tried to honor and represent that in this post, so that's the reason for the interesting text and image organization.
