Nestled on the west coast of Costa Rica like an
oasis at the end of a bumpy, dusty road, the Villas Las Ventanas is the
location of the latest adventure for TLHC, soul sisters since 1966!Villas Las Ventanas, when literally translated from Spanish, means ‘village of windows’. Ella Wheeler Wilcox once said, “Let there be many windows to your soul, that all the glory of the world may beautify it.”
I’m happy to report that our souls have been beautified in so many ways….
…. through:
FOOD (always a #1 priority when we get together)
The amazing
restaurants nearby with fabulous, fresh food:
Bar Latinos
– patacones and shrimp skewers… yum! …and the ‘best margaritas I’ve ever
tasted!’
Mondo Milo –
incredible pumpkin soup, fresh fish served in a wind storm with grace and good
humour!
Lola’s –
ceviche…so fresh! ... at another beautiful beach just down the road.
The Fish
Truck – local fishermen bringing fresh shrimp and sea bass steaks right to our
door!
Mangos,
pineapples, watermelons, and… lovely limes picked from the tree!
ACTIVITY (a commitment we’ve made to always do
something to replenish our bodies and souls)
Exercising –
walking every morning on the 4km black sand beach, swimming in the salt water
pool.
Relaxing –
Lying in the hammocks, lounging by the pool listening to the waterfall,
watching the magnificent sunsets sinking into the Pacific Ocean.
The helpful,
friendly, accommodating staff at Villas Ventanas,
The
community of regulars (owners and guests) who are eager to help every visitor
discover the wonder of Playa Junquillal,
The friends
that meet here year after year with warm greetings and prolonged good-byes,
The four of
us who delight in each
other’s company for a brief time every year, creating more memories to share
the next time we meet again!
Merle Shain said it best…
“Friends are like
windows through which you see out
into the world and back into yourself.
If you don't have friends you see much less than you otherwise might.”
Villas Las Ventanas is so much more than a ‘village of
windows’. It has given us the pleasure of rejuvenating
our souls with the beauty and friendship it offers while seeing and
experiencing much more than we expected!into the world and back into yourself.
If you don't have friends you see much less than you otherwise might.”
