One of our fondest memories of Costa Rica was stumbling into an Argentinian tango bar in the old town area our last night there and listening to a guy-with-guitar, whose gravelly voice made us think of Tom Waits. He was doing traditional songs (as far as we could tell) and the regulars were singing along. But then one man got up, stood at the front of the room and sang O Sole Mio. His voice was so gorgeous and huge, he didn't need a mic, and his rendition (of a song we'd both heard a thousand times) brought us to tears.
Oh, wish I could be there - I can feel the energy through your writing. You two are having such a cinematic experience. I know you are savoring it all, but just keep doing that!
Great writing, the story made me smile and laugh while reading it, and the pics really captured the mood. Thanks for sharing Maya, sending hugs to you and Mina from California. Please keep adding to this wonderful blog!
You two are taking the world by storm! So great to share in the adventures. And when you get Mina to sing, make sure to video it!
YAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSS
