Chicken 'n' Ribs!

There is nothing like a fun get together at someones Casa in Costa del Sol to share a "pot luck" dinner with friends!  On this occasion the gathering was at Dave and Donna's lovely Casa where the backyard is a perfect spot for a party.  Put together two Master grillin' Southern boys to produce some of the finest Chicken 'n' Ribs that you will ever put in your mouth,  a nice variety of sides to accompany and top it off with a Chocolate Brownie Surprise fit for a crowd and you will end up with a happy bunch with full bellies!


It is that wonderful time of year in Costa Rica as we ease out of the Green Season (RAINY) into the High Season (SUMMER) when many Homeowners and vacationers start filling up the beautiful homes in this great gated community in Playa Bejuco.  The permanent residents that have weathered the storms are excited to see them all and welcome them in with open arms!  Less rain, bright sunny days, gorgeous sunsets, great surf, beach barbecues and pot luck dinners are definitely looked forward to.


This night brought out a good group with some other Bejuco and Hermosa friends also.  The grill was fired up, beverages poured and the party was underway.  We even had a little entertainment when Mark who was suffering with severe back pain was treated by our gracious hostess Donna with a very interesting pain relieving treatment called cupping!  Donna is an Acupuncture Physician and Chinese Herbalist, Board Certified by the National Commission for Certification of Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine.  Oh yes you will find a smorgasbord of many interesting professionals in Costa del Sol.

The massage table was set up under the grass top palapa by the pool and Mark received the royal treatment!  Donna is also a certified Yoga instructor so we are hoping to get some groups together to work on a little Ommmm. 


After a wonderful dinner and some interesting pool shark matches a few gathered under the stars on the upper deck of the backyard bodega to gaze at the moon and enjoy the nite breezes that blow in from the Pacific ocean.  This private retreat is the perfect place to hide-a-way with a good book too!

Thanks Dave and Donna!

It was ANOTHER fun nite in the neighborhood!  

Check out our video of pics to preserve the moment.  We would love for you to join us at our next "potluck"!  Come on down to Costa del Sol and enjoy some of this Pura Vida!  We will keep the grill warm!
