A Visit from the North

Last week we were happy to greet our friend Gloria at the Liberia airport. She is here for a week and a half and we have lots planned to do while she is here. Since she has been here we have actually experienced some good weather and we have:

• been boogie boarding three times
• strolled the beach
• visited the open market in Santa Cruz
• golfed at Hacienda Panilla
• played cards
• enjoyed fine scotch

A welcoming meal.......

A bicycle that floats??

Beach Buddies

Aqua Amigo

Gloria is offered a chance to buy a chicken but nixes the potential transaction. How could you turn down such a deal from a man wearing a snake hat?!?

The Market Divas.

A glimpse at the circus under the big top(s).

We knew there was a reason an ALTO sign was placed here!!

Even the bovine were happy to see us at Hacienda Panilla!

Contemplating velocity, vector, and soggy turf!

A Violaceous Trogon watching the golfers below.

Hitting another one long and straight....would you believe short and straight...would you believe it is just a practice swing?

Howler Monkeys were very active in one of the trees along the course.

Say hello to the Double Striped Thick Knee ....  we never saw them fly, they would just run like a road runner.

The greens had recently been aerated so we looked for additional methods to get the ball in the cup.

A beautiful golf hole helps a bad score!
