As much as I hate to omit it, I was not well during my week on the Osa Peninsula, still tired or low on energy with limited taste due to 7 weeks of radiation treatment and not my usual “gung ho” self! I chose to not talk about how I felt and I still got a lot of photos, and some are pretty good in spite of my limited mobility on the trails (I fell twice).

Beautiful photos Charlie… and you did more climbing and hiking than I did (I didn’t walk down to the beach because of back pain, but I rode a horse there, through the jungle, which was my only way of getting to the ocean…) Good for you and I’m sorry it was difficult, but you still captured so much of the beauty there. Take good care — Ellie
Thanks Ellie! And yes I got a lot from the visit but just know that I would have done more and gotten more photos with better health! 🙂
Praying that every day brings you improved health and full recovery.
Thank you Larry! In Spanish they say here, “poco a poco” as little by little or step by step and that seems to be the way my recovery is going to be. I was getting ahead of the process on that trip and stretched my physical abilities more than I was physically ready – BUT, I still enjoyed it and glad I went! I now plan to take it easier the rest of this year! 🙂 Thanks so much for your prayers!
