Winter White, Costa Rica Style

There are lots of photos of white snow on Daily Photo sites around the world at this time of year. I thought those of you in cold climates might like to see some of the "white stuff" we have along the Costa Rican Pacific Coast beach resorts.

It is really tough to be outdoors in Costa Rica this time of year. You need to protect yourself against the elements of mother nature. Instead of overcoats, scarves, hats and mittens, you will need a swim suit, sun block and sun glasses.

On our travel photo site, Viva la Voyage, this week we are showing some from Merida, the largest city in the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico, which has retained some of its Spanish colonial charm and has a museum that showcases the Mayan civilization that preceded the Spanish conquest.
