Harvest Hands & Playa Guiones

I had a wonderful time visiting my friends Rodney & Cindy in Costa Rica where they do mission work, helping churches and other Christian organizations who minister to the poor & marginalized. I got to hang out and see what they do on a daily basis at "Harvest Hands", including visiting the neighborhood of Los Anonos where they live and have made many friendships among the local people.


Mountains over Los Anonos


Typical dwellings of the poor


The 2nd week we went to the beach! Here's some of the view along the way...


After 5 hours of driving we finally arrive....Playa Guiones


There were many interesting creatures to keep us company, like bats, crabs, howler monkeys, lizards, iguanas, etc.



Most days ended with the most beautiful sunsets....and Rodney took advantage of the great surf!

Costa Rica!!!



I've been in Costa Rica for almost 2 weeks and will be heading home tomorrow. I have enjoyed seeing a wide variety of the facets of life here, from beach to mountains and the rich living beside the poor. Stay tuned for more to come...
