I always enjoy your travel blogs Dallas...many interesting facts, great photos and a feel for the people of the area. Costa Rica does look beautiful (I know of 2 different families who have moved there within the last year or two and they love it).
Looking forward to the next port of call! Shanna
I enjoy your pictures. My friend Ira and his wife were in Costa Rica yrs ago and loved it!! So I will continue to vicariously enjoy your. trip. Misss you. both very. much
I am enjoying your traveling the world and informing us of all the beauty you are experiencing. I hope you took along your sax, the harp would be a different story because of it's size. Please stay safe, healthy, and strong.
Hi Rocky and Judith! I'm glad you're reading my blogs. I brought my clarinet and flute with me (easy to pack) but no sax. Susan brought a small harp, and she's had to learn how to play it with one third fewer strings. We're playing tomorrow evening for a "passenger talent show." We're last on the program because there was no one else on the program that wouldn't suffer by having to follow us. So after tomorrow, many more passengers will know what we do. All the best to you both! Dallas
Hi Dallas. We had a lovely week-long visit in Costa Rica around 20 years ago. Al's comments: I remember being very impressed with the lack of a military component to this society, and the overall prosperity and well-being of this society. Harriet here: We loved the time we were in Costa Rica, with Al's sister Mickey. We saw San Jose, stayed in a resort on the west coast, close to Panama. I remember jumping on the beach saying "I'm in Costa Rica" and then (12" away) "I'm in Panama". We saw a volcano go off; walked (scaring me) across one of the less strengthened swaying bridges, scared stiff and holding on for dear life. There is a very intersting former Canadian family that has helped develop eco-tourism in that southwest area. The son-in-law of this famiy helps run a resort owned and operated by the family, and is an ardent surfer. His one requirement is that when a cyclone (or some other such major storm) is in Peru, huge surf comes up in Costa Rica and he will take off no matter what is going on! Yes, it's worth a visit back!

Harriet and Al, So nice to hear from you. I'm assuming you're getting all my blogs. Southern Chile is beautiful! We're moving toward cold weather and tomorrow will be seeing two glaciers in a Chilean fjord. We're still reeling from Frank's demise. Susan has spoken several times with Pat, and she's moving on, which indicated that they had had problems over the years. Love, Dallas and Susan
You and Susan continue to amaze, my old friend. What a life! Do you have everything, or does the occasional cloud mar your eternal blue skies. I'm well. I've been immersed in music study, focusing on piano. I'm 75. Whoooda thought?
Would you like to share your thoughts?
