In March 2020, right as toilet paper was becoming scarce and lockdown was starting, we were in paradise! Our family traveled around Costa Rica from the Highlands, to the Cloud Forest, to (finally!) the Pacific coast! We were seeking to learn what makes the people of Costa Rica among the happiest on earth. And we want to share the sense of wonder and curiosity that we cultivated there. Our trip ended with concern for the future due to the COVID-19 pandemic and since that time we have experienced unprecedented separation, increased awareness of inequities in our society, and far fewer in-person interactions. It has taken us a while to figure out what we CAN do. So, starting in December 2021, we are launching a blog to bring people together by posting some of what we discover and want to share. We hope to build community around culture. We will focus on images and text to observe, describe, compare, analyze, or synthesize. These days we spend a lot of time consuming, but we hope to also inspire contemplation, spark conversation, or just bring attention to what we like.
