Amber Waves of Grain

This field of tall grass was waving in the wind, and its golden color attracted me.  Tomorrow I will show a wider view to place this into perspective.

A little news item that shows the strength of the tourism sector in Costa Rica is that they have just announced an 18% expansion project to add two more gates and jetways to accommodate larger airplanes at  the Juan Santamaria International Airport in San Jose.  This will add the capacity for 260,000 additional passengers per year.

Most visitors to Tamarindo fly into the international airport in Liberia, which is only on e hour away, rather than San Jose, which is 4 1/2 hours away, but the extra air service will help the entire country.

This week we are showing some photos of Paris, featuring several of its museums. on our Viva la Voyage travel photo site.

  1. An interesting shot and makes me wonder what it is all about. Are you afraid of too many people - that too many tourists will destroy those things that attract you to Costa Rica?
