| A View I Never Tire Of from Charlie's Terrace in Atenas, Costa Rica |
Sunday at Charlie's Home
The clock is ticking and my time with Charlie is coming to a close. We are spending a relaxing day here in Atenas. Earlier we drove into Atenas to meet a few of Charlie's ex-Pat friends briefly and then Charlie drove me up and around the hills surrounding his home to see all the homes built on the hillside in his neighborhood. We then ate a late lunch near his home at "Restarurante Las Oropendolas". Now we are back at Charlie's resting, napping, and reading. Planning to eat ham and cheese sandwiches for dinner. Tonight is my last night to sleep at Charlie's. Thank you Charlie! Or better yet, "Muchas Gracias, Charlie. Usted ha sido un gran anfitrión!"
Monday morning, I will be packing my luggage for travel back to the Nashville. Charlie will drive me to Alajuela after we eat a late lunch to the Hampton Inn near the San Jose International Airport to spend Monday night and then turn in the rental car he has driven these past two weeks. He will then take the bus we rode Friday back to Atenas from Alajuela. Monday night at the Hampton I will reflect on these two great weeks visiting Charlie and prepare an update blog featuring a highlight photo from each of the daily blogs I posted. I hope you have enjoyed the blog updates as I have shared them.
If you have missed it, I started ending each update blog with the words, "Pura Vida." You see it every where here and it means, "Pure Life."
Here are today's selected photos.
