I haven´t writen in a few days, because I didn´t have access to a computer, and I needed to rest a bit after the trek back from San Jose.

I want to say this though, Imagine if you can a tropical enviroment that is so full of plants and beauty. I am going to try to describe to you what I felt and saw on Sunday as I rode in a city bus filled with locals, and only one tourist that I could tell was a tourist.
It is about a two and half hour drive to Jaco, through the city filled with buses and taxis, cars and people walking on the sides of the freeway. Then through a small mountanous area winding road to an area that is very high and above the city over mountian tourribari ranges that is about aproximate 4000 feet. Then drops down to sea level after a few little rolling hills.

When we drove through the outer parts of the city, I filled my eyes with the trees that are all in bloom right now. Pink fluffy blossoms, that are similar to Japanese cherry, and bright yellow blooms that only last one day the gold of Coronado, the Lavender flowers that fill the whole tops of trees that the bark is so intensely brown, to see the contrast of these trees is incredible the Jacaranda, has got to be one of the most beautiful of trees. Stately arms, blooms that are profuse! I memorized the color´s the smell of the air. I tried my best to smile while in route to recall the best of the sights of Costa Rica. I could smell all the flowers that are all in bloom now. Seeing birds on the wires singing, The wave of all the different palm trees, I think I counted about seven different varieties on the way. I tried like hell to draw in my mind the different leaves of the palms and how they sway in the wind. Going over some areas, that were filled with boganvilla of super bright colors, my favorite is the bright hot pink and orange together. Almost phospheresencent, glowing- the way or the angle of the light here right now of the sun being at the axis were at seems to make everything more intense for me. I studies quickly the colors as we wizzed by the masses of boganvillas in Atenas, Yellow, white, red, hot pink, orange, bright purple,pale pastel pink, lavender, even a pale peach. So incredible it fills the eyes.
I saw all the little puppies in gardens playing now is the time for all new birth even though right now is summer? I don´t understand it but I see it, I saw lots of chickens, and animals on the way. I am not kidding I was smiling and thinking even though I could dwell on all the bad things that had occured, I did some pretty amazing things and saw some really incredible views, and adventures. If I was to weight it out I would say IT WAS STILL A SUCCESS HERE, I did alot more than I planned on doing.
I think my last week or so here in Costa Rica is good, I did something I wanted to do a year or so ago. I had all my teeth fixed at nearly an eighth of what it would cost in the states, I did a tummy tuck at nearly less than half, I wanted that for almost 30 years! I sold many jobs in counting in three years about 28, or so.. I bought the best furniture, the best t.V.S the best Computers, the best of everything. I lived on the beach for two years, I lived less than two blocks from the beach the rest. I had a beautiful office for a year, I nice car... Good friends, met lots of men, lots of people from all over the world! I have done some really great things so its not all a loss. Plus I had a perfect Sunday drive where I saw beautiful scenery for me to remember, and now on the end of the week a nice party with some friends to say good bye. I have to make up some invitations, to hand out to everyone.. It should be at Rosies.

I had a repsonse from an email to someone with the same name as mine, my mother´s and she lives in Sicily where my mother was born, they have apartments on the beach there and she has writen me several times now, I am very excited about this new adventure... I think its going to be really different. Maybe even more inspiring than I can conceive.

So anyway Costa Rica is a beautiful country, aside from the rubish, and the thieving, I still think its beautiful. I know I may not find the fruit or veggetables that will be as good....The coffee is sublime! I will miss that.

About that last comment? I am not sure who wrote that, but if you know about ancient philosophies you will find that its about how your thinking and there is a saying where there is a will there is a way. THE WAY IS, what you think. Our paths I am finding is how we think or believe. We create those paths. Just an observation that JUST NOW I AM FIGURING OUT!
