Embracing the Tico Way

This morning, I made sure to fill-up at breakfast to prepare for a hike to the San Luis waterfall (the 2nd highest in Costa Rica). Just as in March, the hike was great exercise with highly rewarding views. Sadly, though, I didn't take any pictures. My lack of camera was most unfortunate when I saw what I can only describe as a chrome beetle. It was maybe an inch long, but entirely silver. Not just metallic, this thing looked like it could have been a robo-beetle. I can give ten imaginary points to anyone who can identify it without actually having seen it...GO!

After the freezing cold dip at the base of the waterfall, we hiked back and had some lunch. And oddly, I think my post-lunch vegetation was the best part of the day. From 1:00-6:00 the lovely Buck Trible and I sat around and did next to nothing. Fiddled on our computers for a bit, napped for a bit, and just before dinner I enjoyed a private guitar performance.


I've often thought that real work can always wait for tomorrow. Today was perfect :)

  1. that's easy, D. the beetle was obviously from the future. dropped out of the sky and landed where you could see it so he could give you his message. hope you remember.

    sounds like you're doing great.
