If you own or rent a condo on a high floor of the Crystal Sands condo, this is your view of a part of Langosta Beach, out to sea.This view of the ocean gives me an opportunity to mention that there is an article in the newspaper about a 56 year old German woman, Renate Herberger, who is swimming the entire 1,000 km (600 miles) length of the Costa Rican coast of the Pacific Ocean. She wears a face mask and flippers so she can enjoy the marine life.
She gives talks to local people and school groups along the way to increase awareness and appreciation for marine life. When she has a support boat, she takes short breaks every half hour in her 8 hour swim days. Some days, she swims by herself without a support boat. The newspaper said people can email to her at renatemermaid@gmail.com. What a wonderful, dedicated human being.
This week we are showing photos of the patterns in the animals and plants of Tanzania on our Viva la Voyage travel photo site.

Thanks for the link, Dave; I enjoyed reading about this remarkable woman. also thanks for the charming (and revealing) story about your young son and traveling. He knew exactly what he wanted!
Regarding your photo; "I could live there!"
PS. You are absolutely correct about Jarart's post today!!
You have to admire someone who does something like that. This is quite a view!
Million dollar view there Dave. Very interesting article, some people are just amazing!

Very nice view they have there. Thanks for sharing that link, she is a special lady.

That is an interesting story. Sometimes I feel like a shlump, sitting here looking at pictures on my computer while others are out there challenging themselves. (But, I get over the feeling.)
