Pura Vida
Costa Rica, January 2015

Pura Vida is a Costa Rican motto meaning, Pure Life. Instead of saying hello or good bye, many people just say Pura Vida!
On our trip to Costa Rica we visited this pretty beach resort in Tamarindo.

Position title and date in artstroke curve.
Add buttons and splatter from JazzedUp LoopDaLoop4 at end of Artstroke.
