We finally had some time-off to go and enjoy the property near Golfito we were fortunate to buy back in early September.
Our expectations were high, and they were surpassed. There are a lot of photos. I hope y'all like them.
Our first morning, Dec 21st, the winter solstice, and we wandered down to the pool with a cup of coffee, binoculars and the camera.
We watched the parrots fly by and the moon set.
We went up for breakfast and I made our favorite Huevos con Pinto with eggs we grabbed from the hen house that morning...oh yeah and coffee.
We went on a 3 hour tour of the property line with the caretaker, Esteban. Along the way he showed us one of the many huge trees:
We then learned that we did have a bit of a view of the water(Golfito Bay):
an hour and a half later we got a nice view of the valley an the hamlet of Mona:
We ended the tour by the drive way and a nice matt of bananas. This one was near the water apple tree and it shed the purple flowers like snow:
On another trail near the driveway, Esteban pointed out a naturally fallen tree that was covered with moss. He guessed that it had been there for 3 years or so. It had not decayed as expected. When he cut through it while clearing the trail, we learned that it was a rare purple heart tree:
Here is one of the two ranchos that we will rent when we get a new roof for it:
