visiting a little slice of heaven on earth...

it was a lovely little visit. to a place i could have only dreamed about.  where the indoor living was actually open to the out-of-doors.  a beautiful place of  warm hospitality...

these built-on benches go all around the living space...

there were purple tropical flowers floating on the ponds...

it was a gorgeous place of wood and thatch, nestled into the edge of the jungle...

it was a place of  wonderful art and luscious colors...  i dreamt cozy dreams under gauzy mosquito netting, in a beautiful lime green room with a mysterious intricate wooden window panel...

the thatch itself was a work of art by people who have been doing this art for generations...

yes, it was such a lovely visit. hosted by some of the warmest, most loving people one could be blessed to meet.  Thank you so much, Yolande and Lukas, Annebelle, Alaster, and Lein Lein...

Dale, enjoying the great outdoors from the comfort of indoors.

a beach trip was also involved but that's another story for another day...    love, Shari
