Pura Vida

Today we did some shopping at the farmer’s market, bought some goodies at Palí, and completed the Saturday morning ritual with a deliciously refreshing smoothie, juice or shake at Orgánica. During our visit the previous week I thought I recognized music from one of my favorite Columbian artists on the radio, Carlos Vives. Not sure if it was a new or old album I did not have, I asked the owner for confirmation of the artist’s identity. This week, upon entering the store, I was greeted “hola Columbiano,” with an explanation of how I wouldn’t be able to convince her I wasn’t Columbian. After we finished our drinks and organic muffins, the owner bid us goodbye… “Adios chicos! Adios Columbiano!” I love nicknames!
