After my post last week, I got plenty of kind messages and emails. THANK YOU!
While losing Julia means great sadness, there is also much to be grateful for:
that I got to say goodbye,
that I got to spend so much time with her over the last year and in her last few weeks,
and that we had one last adventure together to a little slice of heaven in Costa Rica.
Five days after we left Costa Rica in February, Julia checked herself into the hospital. I had no idea then that that week in Costa Rica would be our last beach day together, last beer together and last trip together.
Oh how lucky I feel that we got to make these memories. Staying in a bungalow sandwiched between the jungle and the Caribbean, we had no recollection of what time it was or even what day it was--for one week we were all together without the stresses of daily life.
I can't quite remember how I found this rasta-infused town on the Caribbean side of Costa Rica, but once I started reading more about Puerto Viejo (Mina's posts sealed the deal), I knew that was the chilled out place we were looking for.
Beach, jungle, monkeys, hammocks, fresh watermelon juice every morning and just my best friends and I lounging around in bathing suits all day.
Perfection. Pura Vida.
I'll just let the pictures do the talking.
