Before we moved to GA, we always traveled for Labor Day. My best-of-the-best better half was born on September 1st — Russia’s Day of Knowledge, a tradition from the Soviet era. Maybe that’s why I’m lucky enough to be married to someone who speaks six languages? This year we finally picked the tradition back up: Costa Rica!!!
On the way to Arenal Volcano, our first stop was the eco resort Lands in Love. It has a very unique story: the resort was founded by 16 vegan friends who originally came from Israel and fell in love with the natural beauty of this country. Inspired by their passion for the environment and sustainable living, they created a special place for visitors. Most of the hotel’s income is transferred directly to their huge no-kill rescue center, Animal Love. Can you imagine being friends for 21 years and running a business like this? They had around 450 dogs and 750 rescue cats on the property. Just wow.
Another good surprise: not a single flag of the nonexistent country of Palestine, and none of the other North American madness and hate in Costa Rica.
