Recently a few girlfriends and I ventured to Costa Rica for a week. This was my third trip and each has been different from the previous. This was a “girls” trip where we read lots of books, had long leisurely meals filled with conversation and lots of laughter! Talk about relaxing! We stayed in a lovely home perched on the hillside above the ocean.
We didn’t raft any rivers, go to any yoga retreats, or take any trips up to volcanos (all of which I have done before.) We did however, explore the ocean with a day of snorkeling, and made a trip to the zipline another day. Both were fun and exhilarating!….but my favorite part of this trip was the harem of Howler Monkey’s that visited us the last day. On male and the rest were females of varying sizes and ages with lots of babies in tow!
Whatever the reason for visiting Costa Rica…GO! The people are so friendly, the scenery unbeatable, and the sound of the waves mesmerizing.
This trip was an important part of my Big Picture as I made time to spend with close friends and rejuvenate. Enjoying a long and healthy life is more eating well, it’s about nourishing ourselves on all levels. That’s what Big Picture Long Life is all about.
