Dinner

My first visit to a Blue Zone was in Nosara, Costa Rica.

On the Nicoya Peninsula.

One of five rare places on the planet where people live exceptionally long lives.

But these wise elders aren’t just living.

They’re thriving.

And as someone who knows what it means to fight for health,

I found this quite attractive.

So I paid attention to the food.

The pace.

The movement.

The sunlight.

The way a simple meal seemed to hold something sacred.

And I took what I could home with me.

But somewhere between home and habit,

I can forget to live that way.

So I’ve got my eye on another Blue Zone.

This time, in the Mediterranean.
