Paradise

How can I describe the beauty and peacefulness of this place? The afternoon got hot and close, but there was the coolness of the "infinity-edge" pool to take a dip in. The wildlife is all around - colorful birds and butterflies flitting among the hibiscus and bougainvillea flowers, with the sound of distant monkeys in the trees and goats in the fields. Then the rain came and cooled everything down, clearing the air. In the evening we met up with Julia and Beth who have just arrived here in Costa Rica also.
