My Photo Wins Contest

Expats living in Atenas, Costa Rica (mostly retirees) have a Facebook Group Page where expats ask one another “how to” or “where to” kinds of questions and share important information. Each year the group has a photo contest for what will be the group’s page header that year. My shot or our town from a hill in Roca Verde one foggy morning is the winner this year! 🙂

I almost used this photo for my digital Christmas Card this year. Glad I didn’t so it will now be solely the identity of the group.

And my prize? Something yummy from Pat’s kitchen! 🙂

¡Pura Vida!

The full photo below lends itself well to the narrow crop for a page header:

My Photos Place 3rd & 5th in Local Photo Contest

A large number of expats living in Atenas depend upon a local Facebook Group called Atenas Costa Rica Info and the administrator recently asked for photo submissions to be used as the header on the group page – photos made of or in Atenas. I submitted about 10 and 2 of mine placed in the top 10 as voted on by local users of the group. The above sunset photo placed 3rd and the below dancers placed 5th in the contest.

 

And the winner is . . .

And the winning photo was of this Oro Tree in the front yard of one of the local expats, Walter Wengrowich. It is beautiful and a good choice, representative of Atenas! I’m glad he won and owns such a beautiful tree!

Atenas Info FaceBook Page

It is a “closed group” so you have to join to be able to see the posts. But it is great for a newcomer expat living in Atenas where all your questions are answered and even often asked by someone else. 🙂  Also great for someone about to move here or even thinking about it!

Questions/answers range from where you can buy something to where you can get something fixed. Plus how to accomplish needed tasks, etc.

Could You LIKE a Facebook Page for me? :-)

Su Espacio Community Center, where I take Spanish classes, had a Facebook page like a person. FB told them they couldn’t do that, closed their site and made them start a new organizational Facebook Page, starting all over and losing over a thousand LIKES! So friends, do me a favor and go to their page and LIKE IT!  https://www.facebook.com/suespacioatenascostarica
THANKS! -Charlie

It will make David & Corinna feel a lot better even though you are not clients or even potential clients. Muchas Gracias!   🙂
