pura vida

I am in the land of pura vida AKA Costa Rica. My brother is studying at the University of Costa Rica, where I studied almost four years ago. The faces of my friends and familia tica are the same. The country has progressed in many ways - good and bad. I have limited internet and Photoshop access, so expect more when I return.

Costa Rican idea of the day: Mango verde, which is unripened mango covered in lime juice and salt.
