New edition tomorrow

Thank you for dropping by. There will be a new edition tomorrow.

I spent the morning in Santa Cruz. Sigh, the never ending legal hoops I have to jump through caused by the evil esposo. All good vibes are gladly accepted!

I did take a few good photographs along the way. It is such a beautiful ride to Santa Cruz. It was a bit cloudy but a gorgeous morning, about 75°.

Freshly planted rice fields outside of Santa Cruz, Costa Rica

We stopped along the way to enjoy a small creek which doubles as a road during dry season.

Luna says hi!

Peace.
