So I’m not sure why they call it Summer now, maybe because it’s hot. Costa Rica really just has wet and dry seasons. December and January was summer break for kids in school. The beaches were packed more than usual and children were everywhere!

Kids are back in school now and the beaches have fewer people. Strangely though this is the time when the trees bloom yellow, orange, poppy, and pink flowers. I find it strange because it’s so dry these days. So different than from October. On the walk down our dirt road to the beach these lovely flowers fall to the ground.
