We went to Panama a few
weeks ago and stayed at a lovely B&B on the Costa Rica side of
the border. What a great place! Beautiful grounds, great cabanas,
nice people and a gorgeous outside restaurant. Highly recommend

for anyone in the area of San Vito or going to Rio Sereno border.
Cascata Del Bosco Hotel & Restaurant
This is our cabana, with an amazing stand of huge bamboo next to it.
Inside our cabana. Beautiful views & lots of windows!
Look closely, that is John standing inside the bamboo. The day we arrived was windy and the bamboo "sang" while dancing and creaking back and forth.
Next trip out was to the Osa Peninsula.
What a place! If this peninsula were in the US, it would be
swarming with million dollar estates, but here it is mostly wild
beauty. The views and beaches are terrific. We had a special
opportunity to go with a Tico friend, Edison, and his family. Edison
grew up on the Osa Peninsula so he enjoyed showing us around and taking us
to two great beaches. Edison and sons even caught a barracuda while
fishing from shore. Edison said not to worry that we were swimming
in the same waters, just a little guy. Our Tica friends made fish
soup with it, delicious!
Beautiful Osa Peninsula-Just one of the beaches we were privileged to visit.
Edison, John and Family Horse
Such a lovely family to share their family cabina with us. Although our Spanish is a work in progress, with Edison around communications went well, plus Jackie & Mikey knew some
English. Plus smiles, hugs, hand gestures and pointing will get you far!
Grass Huts along a beach shoreline. Doesn't it look like a movie set?
Local Animals
Armadillo in our yard. I think he is cute!
Iguana in the road. He was enjoying the warmth of the pavement so much
that even a Tico with a stick couldn't move him.
