The farmer’s market. Las ferias del agricultor
Every country needs a farmers’ market. In Costa Rica, the oldest and perhaps the largest (that I know of) is the one in Zapote. For longer than I’ve been alive, the feria has been there every Sunday, bringing together over a hundred vendors and farmers. Many of the people and faces have become familiar. Generations […]
Blues and Guanacaste.
Some years ago, I went to Guanacaste for the International Blues Festival. Several blues artists from Costa Rica, the United States, and Europe came to Tamarindo and Playa Potrero for a weekend of good music, sea, beach, and beautiful sunsets.
Friends will be friends

Talamanca and the Bribrís.
We met years ago while I was developing my first reservation system for Paradise Products Costa Rica. I had the honor of representing their project, called Granja Agroecológica Siwakabata, in an international trade mission organized by the ICT (Costa Rican Tourism Institute) about six years ago.
