Tattoo party at Casa Nicoya

Last weekend a friend of the family named Jorge came with his beautiful wife Cynthia and adorable 2-year old Jason to finish tattoos on Ernesto,s back and Cesar,s arm, and offered a good price to anyone else who wanted to come, so we had a 24'hour tattoo party on the deck.

It was lovely - all the adults just sitting around together talking and laughing, while the children played together.

Cesar is wonderful to watch with Santi: this beautiful hard-bodied young man, such a tough guy when he{s out with his friends, is so sweet and gentle and just right with the quiet little boy, who shrieks with joy when Cesar picks him up and swings him around.



I{ne never watched a tattooing and it became a bit intense for me. At one point Ernesto thought he might throw up from the pain, but he was stoic throughout.

Ernesto{s wife, Karolina. She is my hostess here at Casa Nicoya, and my best English teacher.
