I asked Ricardo to chop off the top of this tree yesterday. Because of the way it had grown, this is what we had left. (see the bushy part to the right of the amputated part) I probably should have asked him to chop down the whole thing but we are addicted to the daily 4:00 high of the tree's perfume that the breezes carry up the hill. This is a llang llang tree, used by some of the world's most expensive perfumes as an ingredient. Oh well, we'll plant a couple of baby trees in the same general area and in a couple of years we will be hacking them back again.
Welcome to the new MaxiPali superstore in Quepos, owned by WalMart. Yesterday we made a trip for provisions to Quepos. It is NOT my favorite town. We have decided to avoid it in the future and head South for shopping. Quepos is really a tourist town and too expensive, even at this store. Bob says the only reason to go there is to buy cheap beer. If you have keen eyes you will notice that the entrance door is wide open. No air conditioning here! Actually, it was so cool yesterday after the rain that I had to dig out a flannel shirt to stay warm.
