Mari has been a delight to my visitations to Coasta Rica. It was one of those, “stars lined up” for us. I happen to on vacation in San José, being a typical tourist. She caught wind of it and told me if I really want to see Coasta Rica, she would show me. We exchanged info and later meet up.
Mari was amazing. I really enjoyed seeing Coasta Rica with her. As she was showing me around we somehow got on the subject of her being a gourmet chef. It might have been through us visiting the local vendors but it was enough for me to book a flight back just so she could be my “personnel chef”. I thought it was funny that I could say I had my own personnel chef while on vacation. Mari took care of everything for my visit just for her. The food was delightful. Lodging accommendations was all through her and it brought me closer to Coasta Rica’s culture. I was staying with locals
and was treated as a family member. But her cooking, man oh man, that was the whole reason I came back and I was not disappointed. Her sweets wer the best part. I was craving them each day. Overall if you want a real experience visiting Coasta Rica, make sure Mari is the first person you contact.
