Dolce Vita

Early walk to Playa El Roble to check out tide pools, then coffee at Soda La Plaza. Morning session at Carrillo, lunch at Mungo’s Headland, pool with ice cream, sunset again on Carrillo, arroz con camarones at La Plaza, then…

Barrigona

After morning walks or pathetic runs, we let the Pathfinder drive us in luxury and with Cafe Britt mochas to Barrigona beach. No sign of Mel, but Mungo manages to find a tree with fewer refugees and hangers-on than the…

We drive through Aserrí to Tarbaca and then down towards Chirogres. After a short walk we test the car on the steep hill up to the cemetery. Closeby, on the edge of a coffee field with panoramic view, it’s picnic…
