Dear readers,
You may remember “Summertime and the living is easy” (Gershwin´s great composition)…
In Costa Ballena, “living is easy.” Maybe the moist heat is not everybody’s favorite type of weather. Then again, doesn’t it seem better than a freezing weather and snowstorms?
To avoid the sun´s full impact, just follow your doggie´s wisdom, stay in the shade during the middle of the day and go hunting at night.
This summer, Costa Ballena will hold several beautiful outdoor activities you might truly enjoy. Among the events, you will find the Traditional Festival in Bahía with horse parades and bull riding, the cultural Spheres’ Festival in Palmar with the participation of the indigenous groups of the South Pacific area, the new Spheres´ Museum at Finca 6, the National Surf Classic in Dominical, and live concerts along the coast.
Our blue gym, also known as the ocean, will magnetize you with splashy activities such as surfing, tubes/donuts, kneeboard and water skiing, kayaking, or stand-up paddle. If you are an expert, you will enjoy it, and if you have not tried them yet, well, this is the summer time!
Since the law of attraction says that those who give, always receive; you might want to consider sharing your feeling of happiness; get involved with the locals, converse, smile, and hug; you will feel the abundance in your heart.
Most importantly, take your time to rest, to enjoy the fresh food and tropical juices, take a dip in a waterfall, and recharge your body with negative ions.
