| My House Location (Red arrow) The big orange roof above & to left is my landlord from Montreal. Little orange to right & down is Anthony of Indiana. Big gray house is Richard from England. Towards mountains is downtown Atenas, white church steeple seen, top center-right. I walk this whole valley almost daily, one great advantage of not owning a car! Life in a rural small town. Pura vida! |
Note that it is the end of dry season which is therefore the wildfire season, But we are starting to get some rain. Had a shower early this evening. Happy days are here again! (Rainy Season! May-Nov.)
Note to my relatives in Warren, Arkansas (Where I was born): Atenas is the same size town as Warren with about the same population (6,000 +/-), farming community, county seat, 4 supermarkets, 2 or 3 hardware stores, and only small shops for other needs with a 45 minute drive to Alajuela or hour drive to San Jose for big shopping and hospitals. Small towns are a lot alike around the world! Though we have a different kind of immigrants here than does Warren. Never thought I would be an immigrant in a small farm town! Life is full of surprises! And I did not consciously have this in mine when I chose Atenas.
