(60,334 posts)I want to hear more about Don Pedro. Does he speak English? Do you speak Spanish? This is such a wonderful mix of photos I can't single one out. But the wrinkles in that animal are just amazing! The church is gorgeous.
Now I want to go to Costa Rica AND Belize.
for all of these.
Thanks for posting!

You cannot even imagine the number of photos I have and the impressions I'm incorporating into my being. I don't know where to start.
That's why I was just stabbing at it.

(22,380 posts)that's the name Costa Rican's give themselves, with pride and mutual love. It comes from a diminutive ending they often put on words.

(53,475 posts)... there are many of us who consider Don Pedro a lucky man. My family always spoke fondly of my great grandfather, who never left his farm in western Wisconsin.
The bovine shot is classic.
Please explain the Peter Sellers reference. It blew over my head.
