This weeks theme is quite easy for me, as I’m in the process of making it happen.   (Above – The Canals of North Caribean, Tortuguero, Costa Rica)

Tortuguero National Park, Limon, Costa Rica

On my first trip to Costa Rica, I was lucky enough to spend a month travelling the entire country.  While there were lots of beautiful spots, once one starts going through the canal it’s beyond beautiful.

After travelling along the canal for about two hours, there is this little village that is magical.  There are virtually no tourists.

I stayed right next to the “airport” that consists of what one would be generously calling a runway. The beaches are fabulous, and a natural wonder.  Every year various turtles come ashore and lay their eggs.  This is actually very disgusting.  I imagine it’s like watching someone poop.

A few months later though! When those little baby turtles tunnel out of the sand and head for the ocean, it’s a blessing to watch.

Inside the National Park, people are allowed to live, with stringent guidelines.  I bought a tiny plot of land.  It’s just outside the village.  I’m having a shipping container home built.  I plan to move there once Medhia passes away.

When people ask why I want to move there, I reply with a smile”Pura Vida”.

To try and genuinely explain how that little part of the world doesn’t do it justice.  One simply needs to experience it.
