Evening at the beach. If you look close, you can see my sibling fishing in the surf. We have not caught any fish in the saltwater.

The view from our cabin first thing this morning. Boiled water on a wood burning stove for tea.

Distant green mountains under a partially clouded sky. A village is nestled in a valley below.

I'm curious how many times people fall off the deck there in the middle of the night when they have to pee, resulting in a head injury or broken leg. Also... do they not have mosquitos there? https://www.bbc.com/culture/article/20240420-12-stunning-buildings-that-bring-nature-inside

ai6yr,

LOL that house is located in Puntarenas, which according to this article in PubMed:

"Puntarenas is one of the cities of Costa Rica where dengue was first reported in 1993 (Guzmán et al. 1998)....This city presents some of the common problems of many larger cities in Latin America: poor urban planning, high unemployment rates, poverty, poor solid waste management, among others (INEC 2002). Its urban and environmental conditions make this city an appropriate environment for the presence of A. aegypti and consequently dengue."
