Xandari has more of my photo books in their lobby than maybe any other hotel/lodge in Costa Rica. And they were on a bookshelf in a back corner of the lobby for quite a while, but when that corner was made into an office, they moved my books to just inside the front door, nicely displayed on top of a miniature oxcart, one of the historical symbols of Costa Rica. And my friends in Reception tell me that a lot more people are using the books now! 🙂
All of the lodges that I regularly visit have some of my books in their lobbies and I know that people use them as I have received letters of thanks from tourists by way of my website Contact Page. 🙂 It is kind of fun to gift people I don’t know from around the world with a tiny expression of my Costa Rica Pura Vida in my nature photos here! 🙂


¡Pura Vida!


Congratulations Charlie. You have made a gift and positive statement to the world.
Thanks Steve! It gives visitors to some of these favorite lodges something to look at and hunt for on their walks. Pura vida! ~Charlie
Congratulations, Charlie! A well accomplished collection!
🙂 Thanks Shannon! You are kind! It is fun to be the focus in someone’s lobby! 🙂
