Now, I really have a reason to visit Costa Rica

My elder daughter and her family went there for a week just before her husband starts his new job.

I have always wanted to see toucans up close in the wild. Now I know just where I need to go!!

Was a bit iffy at first; but it got all better!

Then that reminded me of a modest suburban park that we visited w cousins. It had some animals .

They had a toucan! 🥰

There are at least a couple DUers living there too.

I would go to see toucans too.

Come by Nuevo Arenal. I have 4 or 5 Toucans show up daily. I also have their smaller cousins, Aracaris and lots of Montezuma oropendolas.

Finding the time is the greatest challenge.

Maybe I should start looking into this retirement thing so many people talk about.

She sometimes posts pics of her surroundings, including the birds.
