Thirty One Years...

David and Glynis are standing against the backdrop of the lights of the city. Our daughter Rebecca says we always find neat places to celebrate our anniversary and again it is true - Ram Luna located on the hillside outside San Jose, Costa Rica. The clouds lifted and we had gorgeous views of the city and beyond.

At the Ram Luna Restaurant in the hills above Aserrí, the food is authentic, the atmosphere is elegant and the view is breathtakingly amazing. Guests will feel they have the stars at their feet as they enjoy a deliciously authentic Costa Rican dinner above a vast sea of lights twinkling in the valley below.

Every Wednesday night, the Ram Luna Restaurant is transformed into a Costa Rican street festival with delicious and authentic dishes arranged into an extravagant and all-inclusive dinner buffet for a memorable evening named “Tierra Tica.” The marimba, a traditional percussion instrument resembling a giant Xylophone played by up to four musicians, played before the dancers began traditional dances in colorful costumes.

The “Cimarrona,” a folk dance present at all Costa Rican festivals, arrived complete with drums, trumpets and the “Payasos” of Aserrí. The giant “Payasos,” danced, selecting partners to join them on the dance floor, no, that would not be us as you can well imagine! Now this is a Payasos! Believe it or not, this mask is standing on the floor and is still that much taller than I am! These one was especially made for the Ram Luna and stands guard at the door welcoming guests to the restaurant.

Just two years ago, we would have never thought that we would be standing on a hillside outside San Jose, Costa Rica celebrating 31 years of marriage! Just look at what God has done!
