Pura Vida!

As much as I'm enjoying this fresh fluffy snow, I'm off to Costa Rica for the winter. Since my early days at CIDA, involved in the setting up of the Montverde cloud forest park, I've always been fascinated by the eco-tourism governance experiment that this nation embarked upon. It's no longer an experiment, after 50 years this military-free nation has proven that sustainability can be win-win. At least I hope so, but as usual, I will stray off the beaten track and see for myself. Along the way I will be taking many photos with my Nikon D200 and recording the sounds of the jungle and surf, away from people as much as possible. Yes, I will miss the snow until I hit Coco beach!
