Hola Everyone from Paradise!
We hope you had a great Christmas and wish you all the best for 2013! So much for Mayan predictions as we all seemed to have handled the end of their calendar without any natural disasters! Man made disasters are another story. A good comment I read recently - if the Mayans were so smart why did they not predict their own demise!! Lots of people made a lot of money and worried themselves sick over this whole load! I guess we will have to wait for another doomsday prediction. Kind of reminds me of the cartoons we use to see as a kid where the guy stood on the street corner dressed like a bum holding up a sign that said "The End is Near"!!! Here in paradise we experienced the busiest of our two weeks per year as all the beaches including Playa Hermosa were very busy during Christmas week as the Ticos head for the beaches as is their family tradition. New Years Eve was nuts in Coco but as usual no major problems. Costa Ricans know how to party without all the nonsense we seem to create up north. We are now back to normal with the beaches cleaned up and the crowds very small. As one resident put it - a busy Christmas time beach here is like a normal beach in some of the worlds busy beaches. Pura Vida:-)
