This is the mid-year pause, the moment when Angola catches itself before the heat of September.
A day for the quick meal, the regular customer, the busy cook, and the food people rely on between obligations.
A day for making room at the table when one more person shows up.
You spot the resplendent quetzal, three-toed sloths, scarlet macaws, and jaguars throughout Costa Rica's diverse ecosystems and cloud forests.
