I had the pleasure and great fortune of being able to spend a week in the company of dear friends Tracy and her husband Frank in Costa Rica back in 2017. Costa Rica is a nature lover\u2019s paradise, the government is making ecotourism a front and centre project and it is working. I had the time of my life. I have posted the week of birding one day at a time. The first day doesn\u2019t include much as it was noon by the time I arrived and there is a 2 hour time difference. Some of these pictures aren\u2019t much other than memories but hey, it\u2019s not about the quality of the photos, it\u2019s about the quality of the memories.<\/h6>\n\n\n
