🌐 Surprise! 18 Million Colones!

🌐 Surprise! 18 Million Colones!

Sometimes there's a reminder, an initiator of memory and emotions, which occurs upon opening my passport booklet. "Oh look! It's millions of Colones!, and with such a uniquely beautiful design. Every time this occurs it provides an unexpected reminder of my favorite country, Costa Rica.

In association with the country itself, the bills are very pretty, colorfully fun, and durably resistant to humidity and water damage — useful for hiking through cloud and rain forests, diving at a local reef, or being caught out in a multi hour downpour.

For unknown reasons I left these bills inside of the booklet's secondary tab next to my passport, and now they're going right back into the booklet for a future surprise, and certainly future use during the next visit.

How about some slow motion ocean waves? Sure. Later in the day, and on many days afterwards, it was a favorite local beach.
