A fisherman retrieves his dinner.

Continuing with my little series of photos showing a local fisherman in the mouth of the Langosta Estuary, here the fisherman walks towards his net to scoop up his catch.

A couple of days ago Memphis MoJo left a comment with a link to an article in USA Today that reported that Costa Rica has been rated as the happiest country on earth for the second year in a row.

The Costa Rican newspapers have carried similar stories.  The index in which Costa Rica is rated ahead of every other nation is based on measures of health care, life expectancy, environmental sustainability, and other quality of life indicators.  And if you did obtained your dinner by wading into the warm surf of the ocean, wouldn't you be happy, too?

We have photos of Peggy's Cove, Nova Scotia on our Viva la Voyage travel photo site this week.

I love watching the fisherman net fishing. It is such a skill and art. I am loving your blog! I lived in Mexico for a few years and though it is no CR, I loved it so much!

The simple life for sure.
It was great to see you and Julie last night! I had fun talking about the trip to Italy.

What a neat shot and a fun way to fish. Anyone seeing your blog would expect CR to garner that honor.

Darryl and Ruth :)

Well, I was calling the airlines until I read your last sentence. I'd really prefer to go to a restaurant than capturing my dinner in the ocean! :-)

Stay happy!

The fish that you catch yourself always tastes much better.

I enjoy watching other people fish, though I never fish myself. Let's leave fishing in the hands of people who like doing it and do it well.

Thanks for your tire comment. That was quite a story. But, aren't you glad it happened at a time when Julie and you both have access to mobile telephony? If Julie's car had blown tires in a remote area pre-cell phones, it would be a scary situation bordering on the tragic . . .
