KIEVIT FRIES

Fantastic festival FEBRUARY 2, in Tuxtla Chico, pueblo del chocolate maya. Amazing carpets made by groups of friends and families, out of colored sawdust, stretched through the village streets. About 8pm, the Virgin statue was removed from the church and the procession began , following the carpets through the streets, accompanied by fireworks and crackers, candles, singing, and drinking piping hot chocolate. So fun to be right there in Chiapis, MX, for this one night festival. Not to be missed!

TREE HOUSE OF DREAMS, NICOYA PENNINSULA, COSTA RICA, MARCH 2015

What a house – all handcrafted out of native woods, cut on the property where the house stands, to minimize its footprint. From the water and the hillsides, only the blue roof is visible. Simply unique and lovely, an impressive work of art.
