Gobble Gobble (part 1)

Thanksgiving is about gratitude. MomT is grateful for knowing she has choices. She is grateful for family, friends and acquaintances who have all touched her life. This year she is focusing on showing gratitude for all of her challenges as well. She has realized that even tragedies shape who she is as painful as those tragedies may have been. Gracias!

Being in Nosara on Thanksgiving feels almost like any other ordinary day. Of course it isn't a national holiday here in Costa Rica, but supposedly it is the most celebrated of the american holidays. It felt like all the other days spent in Nosara the past couple of weeks. Strangers that look you in the eye, smile and greet you no matter who you are. A sense of not having to rush onto something else because they are enjoying the here and now. Pura Vida!

The gorgeous serene feeling of Playa Pelada seemed like the natural place to spend the day.






This beach has a blowhole that spouts as the tide comes up. Fairy1 and BB wait patiently for the perfect wave to make her blow.





Wow that came as a surprise!






Dreaming about lunch....Fairy2 is usually thinking about food.





Maybe if she is extra cute and does the hula MomT will get her some lunch extra fast.







Partners in crime, do not be fooled by their innocent faces.






Waiting for lunch at La Luna.




Lunch was well worth the wait.




Pizza heaven:) Much better than turkey in her opinion, especially when she has the whole thing to herself.





Another beautiful salad work of art.





Well you know about the three monkeys.....





Full happy belly.... well Fairy2 said she still had room for gelato.
