When workshop leaders Linda Watanabe McFerrin and Joanna Biggar gathered a baker's dozen of their favorite travelers and writers, they had no idea how transformative the journey would be. Nurtured and inspired in an environment beyond compare, the assembled explored Costa Rica, gathering tales from across the country. From rainforests, volcanoes, tropical beaches, butterfly gardens, colorful towns and villages, the writers wandered the country and brought back a fine collection of stories that present Costa Rica in richly personal style.
