COSTA RICA JANUARY 2001

Hello to all. In January I had the most moving experience in the country of Costa Rica.
In the heart of winter, my friend Shirley and I jetted away from the cold and snow into
a dreamland of warmth and palm trees. Friendly people, water you can drink from the
tap, beautiful vistas, all just four hours away. Enjoy the view. N.

My first look at the mountains and the sunshine, through the window at the airport
in San Jose, the capital of Costa Rica.

The view from the breakfast table by the pool.

This photograph was taken near the top of a mountain outside Grecia, on our way to a
spectacular waterfall. That is a cloud off the to the left. My head was literally in the clouds
that day!
