We Are Here!

We arrived at the villa after dark due to getting lost on the way once.  Now we're here.  The villa is great; in a beautiful tropical mountainous locale.  We'll meet our host later today to plan activities.  He was called away on business yesterday but will return this morning (Sunday).


Pura vida!

Pura Vida

Pura vida literally means Pura = pure and vida = life, but "Pure life" in Spanish would be "Vida pura" instead, so the real meaning is closer to "plenty of life", "full of life", "this is living!", "going great", "real living", or "cool!"^[1] It can be used both as a greeting and a farewell, to express satisfaction, to politely express indifference when describing something ^[1] or even to say "thank you". The phrase has become widely known; this highly flexible statement has been used by many Costa Ricans (and expatriates) since 1956.^[2]
