In Costa Rica, you will hear tico’s say “Pura vida” a couple of hundred times a day. This literally translates to “Pure life” in English but, it means so much more. It can be a salutation or a valediction. Pura vida can pop up at anytime during a conversation for apparently no reason at all. It is not just a saying to the people of Costa Rica it is a way of life. In fact, it is life as it comes to you and not life on a schedule. You find that when you live in Playa Carrillo, Costa Rica, not only do you not know what time it is; you don’t know what day of the week it is.

In Georgia, where the owners moved here from, there is a saying, “Y’all come see us”. It is used with all people in all situations.  It symbolizes the warmth of the people of the south, where any excuse is used for friends and family to gather for good food, drink and conversation.
