Pura Vida: pure life” or “full of life,” but it represents an entire national philosophy of optimism, gratitude, and taking things easy.
The beaches around Dominical are my favorite places to live my best life, walk at a slow pace, and watch the sunset with a full heart. It’s very easy to enjoy the beaches here. All you need are chairs and few low hanging trees for good shade. We gratefully share the beach with locals and local critters alike. Tide pool soaks spool out seemingly forever until the tide comes in. The fishing boats come and go, and soon, we’ll be going back! Follow my feet…


Crabs for Mosaic Monday


Thirsty? Just grab the ladder you have stashed in your beach bag and collect some coconuts for the family.

We parked behind the beach and returned to find someone lurking around our car. The bird was looking in the driver’s side mirror, possibly seeing another bird and potential rival. Himself!






I love this photo. Pura Vida!
