Sometimes, you need to eat superhealthy food, relax, do mellow yoga, watch the butterflies, drink wine by the pool, swim under a waterfall and recharge with writers who spend too much time in front of the computer like you do! I did all that (and much more, check out the full story here) at The Retreat Costa Rica last week.

The mostly raw, vegan food; cleansing and filling, and local and delicious.

The butterfly garden. 

The pool with writer-lady-friends!

The Yoga room, ready for us to relax.

Me, on my way to spa….

Ground cherries and local cheese.
