Meet our friend Plinio, high in his 80’s, and still going strong, and happy!
He stays active all day long; taking his cattle back and forth to different grazing pastures and water, chopping wood, and walking all over town.
He eats rice and beans, vegetables, and fruits from his land; his own chickens’ eggs, and chicken and pork meat from animals they raise.
He doesn’t worry too much about things he can’t control, and appreciates just waking up each morning to another day.

– Our neighbors are always smiling. Vitamin S (smile!) fortifies you the entire day.

– And are healthy eaters. In Guanacaste, organic, healthy and simple foods are much cheaper than fast food, so eating healthy is the default.
