Empty Nest

It could be either good news or bad news, and I hope good news! I just read that a baby Yigüirro can fly at one week of age (they were older) and are usually independent by three weeks old, thus, even if motivated a little early by the noise and lights of a rock concert Saturday night, I think they flew away and are safe somewhere.

Below is what the nest looks like mid-day Monday from Room 407 and the second photo what it looked like mid-day Friday from the same Room 407. The concert was Saturday night with the band only 30 meters away. so if the birds were still there then, the band could certainly have been their motivation to “grow up” and fly away. 🙂 I hope so! We will probably never know. But still glad I left my “nest” before the concert! Or I might have tried to fly away too. 🙂

Nashville Costa Rican Maestro Starts with Rock Here

Giancarlo Guerrero
Nashville Symphony
Music Director

Giancarlo Guerrero helped me to love classical music more than anyone as the conductor of the Nashville Symphony and his pre-concert “Conversations” I attended every time with my season ticket! Well, if you did not know, he is from Costa Rica! And his love of music started here as a fan with his brother of the Canadian Rock Band Rush. Read this interesting article in the 21 January edition of The Tennessean, my first day of a renewed subscription to digital.

Ticos love music of all kinds as indicated in this interesting article on the wide variety of Costa Rica Music.

It is fun to keep learning about Costa Rica and what it means to me.  🙂   Pura Vida!

Rock Band at Youth Festival

Just another Rock Band to me but I guess the youth liked it.
Youth Festival Sunday Afternoon and this was the main attraction.
Central Park Atenas

I went by Sunday after sitting at Su Espacio to receive Angel Tree gifts. This Saturday morning is the Angel Tree Party and that afternoon I get a rent car. The next morning I am escaping to a new birding haven, Rancho Naturalistic, in the shadow of Turrialba Volcano. Three nights with all meals and a birding guide for just $80 a night as a ” Costa Rica resident’s” price! Been wanting to go and tried to get a time later, closer to Christmas but after next week they are booked solid. So I’m off! Nearly!

A book I’m reading on solitude quotes some neurologist saying that time immersed in nature restores the brain. Sounds good to me!  🙂   Of course I’m listening to birds right now outside my window, but getting away makes it even better!
