As always, my faithful driver, Walter, got me through all the Christmas traffic going around San Jose and up to my mountain hideaway in Hotel Savegre, San Gerardo de Dota. This time his wife Gabby and their year old daughter got to ride with us through the traffic of one wreck, lots of Christmas shoppers and half of Costa Rica beginning their summer vacation this weekend! I treated them to a late lunch at Savegre and the waiter made this photo. And believe it or not a Resplendent Quetzal visited us in a tree by our outside dining area. And my camera was not with me! 🙁
Mountain flowers are different from those in the lowlands, so one of my first shots was of flowers and there will be many more! :-)
¡Pura Vida!
Charlie, Bruce and I wish you a Merry Christmas. You have gifted us all with your amazing pictures throughout the year.
Take care of yourself, enjoy every trip you can take in 2024 and know we are happy you share your life and pictures with all of us.
Thanks Bonnie & Bruce! Your encouragement is always appreciated! And I will continue making and sharing photos as long as physically able. Merry Christmas and lots of happy days to you! 🙂
Feliz Navidad! 💥💫
¡Y tú también!
I hope you have a wonderful trip.
Merry Christmas!

Me either! But we just got here and I dropped my bags by the room and we had lunch without my camera! 🙁
